| | History Of The Top by Valerie Oliver, Copyright Spintastics Skill Toys, Inc., 2002 |
 | | This concurrent development of different types of tops is proven by studying current day primitive tribes, as the same items are developed without knowledge of their existence in advanced cultures. |
 | | The whip top has mostly kept to the basic cone shape and was made of wood, fired clay and, in some cases, stone. |
 | | A brad or nail was driven or cemented into a hole in the tip of the top. |
