Simply spin it as normal and watch it suddenly flip over and then continue to spin upside-down. Flip over tops (often known as tippie tops) were originally invented in 1950 by the Danish engineer Werner Ostberg. His inspiration came from a visit to South America where he had seen local people playing with a small round fruit. When they turned it by the stalk like an old-fashioned spinning top, it would spin for a second and then invert and spin on the stalk. However credit should be given to Helene Sperl who in 1891 patented a "Wendekreisel" in Germany. The patent ran out and it was never mass produced. The tops are 29mm in diameter ( 1.14 inches ) and about 36mm tall (1.41 inches ) ## Features - Flips over - Spinning top - Solid Metal ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004U3SPF0 | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Best Sellers Rank | #297,944 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #122 in Spinning Tops | | Brand Name | Gyroscope.com | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 1,291 Reviews | | Item Dimensions | 1.14 x 1.14 x 1.14 inches | | Item Dimensions W x H | 1.97"W x 0.79"H | | Item Type Name | Spinning Top | | Item Weight | 41 g | | Manufacturer | Gyroscope.com | | Manufacturer Part Number | 6434821 | | Manufacturer recommended age | 3 years and up | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Model Number | 6434821 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Theme | Educational, Science | | UPC | 792736434821 793631659234 | ## Images ![Metal Flip Over Top (Tippie Top) by Gyroscope.com - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SBtSBEl+L.jpg) ![Metal Flip Over Top (Tippie Top) by Gyroscope.com - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+ZQCROGpL.jpg) ![Metal Flip Over Top (Tippie Top) by Gyroscope.com - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61aB93K-7CL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is this?
