Rare 19th Century Ivory Spinning Top

19th century
Description

A beautifully crafted ivory spinning top numbered from 1 - 8, breaks down into four parts (see pictures) with a hole in the main shaft persumably for the string. Extremely finely made, well balanced, when spun it keeps going for a long time.

i can't decide whether this is a child's toy or for gambling or gaming.

This makes it difficult to date, for that reason I am going for 19th Century, but it could be earlier.

Size - 3.5" (9cms) High

1.5" (4cms) diameter

Declaration

AJD Antiques has dated this piece to the Victorian era.
