Steph Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Our old thread for nifty stuff that had nothing to do with marbles has fallen into the back pages and has probably lost pictures because of the photobucket fiasco ... so here's another one. I'll start it with this ... I'm pretty sure this was my mother's. Not totally 100% sure that it came from her childhood, which would have been the 40's but pretty sure it's the one she had when she was showing me how they used to wrap a string around the top and then throw it to make it spin. She also showed me how to play jacks. She was very proud of her jacks playing skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted October 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 I don't practice with my mother's. But I do have other tops that I occasionally practice with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 More fun with unpacking, almost two years after we moved in to our "new" house. This booklet is from 1953. Which is perfect since our house is from 1951. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted October 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 I like the look of it. Hmmm ... the wings appear to lift away from the body. A key hider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DINDO Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Yep the wings do pull up. It is an ashtray. Made out of brass in Italy in the 50s or 60s possibly may have dates wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
