Yes, top spinning was very big in the 30's.....and for many years
before that. In fact, top spinning is big all over the world
because it is fairly inexpensive but offers lots of possibilities
for the imagination. Here in Southwest Ohio we've been spinning
a lot of tops and having fun challenges and competitions with them.
I personally believe this is a big untapped area. Tops can be
painted, they can battle and they can do a number of other tricks.
Check out lots of wood tops at www.toycrafter.com. Great plastic
tops (and spinning trick videos) can be found at www.spintastics.com
