This is a precision milled tippy top. It has a rounded body with a grooved handle. This only works on a smooth surface such as a hardwood floor, granite surface, glass, or smooth countertop. It takes a lot of practice to spin it so the top doesn't get out of control and roll across the floor. I finally learned how to do controlled rotations on a 5" mirror and 75mm concave lens. As the tip accelerates, the stem begins to rotate downward toward the ground/surface of rotation. Then he does something amazing. a button with a slight wobble for a few seconds. The physical properties of this gyroscope, I've read, have puzzled physicists since its "earning"/creation. When you spin it for the first time you will be amazed at what it does. This type of The Top has been around in Europe since the late 19th century. This is a well made top. It's perfectly balanced. The picture does not match mine. This is more polished chrome as opposed to the obvious gunmetal finish in seller's representative image. .One of the most interesting tops in my collection.Two thumbs up.Highly recommended.
