Ok, I will fall for this . . .  I will move it to NSTR, so Mike can tell us that it is in fact STR, because there were some top on the pictures.  I even recall one that may be from Rockwell.

I think I know you a little by now  ;)

Very nice image, I did not know it.  Great find.



I don't recognize the top.

I can't wait to hear about the top slingshot.

It is amazing to me that this national publication chose two things to fall out of this boy's pocket when he did his cartwheel.......and one of them was a top!  I had no idea that top spinning was that big in the 20's in the USA.

Thanks for posting the picture ta0.  You are right.  You do know me fairly well!
