Antique Teetotum Gaming Spinner Decorative Collectable Spinning Top
Description : 31 May, 2023
Antique Teetotum Gaming Spinner Decorative Collectable Spinning Top.
This is a private sale from a pet, smoke and Covid free home. The charming hand carved octagonal gaming piece being offered for sale here has been passed down in my family though several generations and is probably Victorian, although it could be older.
Such antique spinners are usually English or French, and particularly associated with prisoners of war in the 19th century - who made these items from bovine sheep bones left over from their meals.
This teetotum is in good condition for its age; there is a split across the surface of one of the eight centrally positioned sides which is frequently seen on this type of spinning top given the stress placed on it during use. At some point subsequent to its original crafting various numbers and the words Take, Take All and Put have been over written by hand in either black or red on each of the eight sides – presumably to ensure the spinning top could continue to be used as a gaming piece after years of wear from eager hands had rubbed off the original writing. Please refer to the photographs provided to make your own assessment regarding condition.
Size: approximately 5.0 cm by 2.5 cm wide at its widest point.
I would prefer the Buyer to collect, and pay cash on collection please. (Social Distancing will be respected.) However, if essential, I would be willing to send this item to a location within mainland United Kingdom, including Northern Ireland, at the Buyer’s own risk, for an additional £6.00. In this case I would make every reasonable effort to pack your parcel as carefully as possible so as to help ensure its safety, and would use the Royal Mail’s First Class Signed For Upon Receipt Service. Regret no returns accepted. Thank you.
