Currently on Ebay (
auction) there is this advertisement card for a pistol spinning top from the 1880's:
The asking price: $1200 !!!!
Actually, they have been trying to sell the card for years. The lowest I have seen them offer it for was in the $900s.
The actual metal Royal Top Spinning Pistol I saw on Ebay go for about the same price. I have seen pistol in Cyril's collection (I don't recall if we spun the top).
One neat thing about the card is that on the back it had heat activated ink (to show a hidden women) but unfortunately that doesn't seem to work anymore (the woman is somewhat visible all the time).
