The stainless one with the 1969 Firebird steering wheel design has an interior made up of brass, copper, and nickel silver mokume.

I think of Inception whenever I see spinning tops, though I know they have been around far longer than that

"I can't let you touch it, that would defeat the purpose. See only I know the balance and the weight of this particular loaded die. That way, when you look at your totem, you know beyond a doubt that you're not in someone else's dream."

Not currently, but you've brought back some latent childhood memories. I now remember using them all the time. They were the wooden type, and a lot of fun. Something I used to enjoy and hope my five year old grandson would enjoy using, along with what he does now, bocce ball, rubber horseshoes and ring toss ( amongst many other things). Anything that improves dexterity and keeps him away from video games is a good thing.
Looking into some quality wood tops right now. Any suggestions?

and a Kemner Design two-step in copper with a ceramic ball.

I have a first-edition brass Lambda. I would like to get a tungsten Lambda, but the likelihood of that is next-to-zero unfortunately. The other tops I've seen don't appeal to me very much.

This morning, I contacted Billetspin (on Etsy) about buying a K2 top.
They got back to me and said they were all sold. :(
A little while ago I looked back on Etsy and they had this one for sale? :)
SO I BOUGHT IT!
