I moved your post to this board as the "what you have, what you want" board is for selling an buying and I don't think you are selling these.  :)

Nice collection. Plunge tops are almost the only kind of top I don't collect because they take so much room (I don't collect tops by color pattern, either). I do have a few just as examples. But one of the members of the forum, toptoyguy, has a huge collection (but he IS looking for a buyer).

Unbelievable collection, Michael! Looking forward to seeing more.

  I am not a big fan of the plunge tops.
Like Jorge says they take up too much room.
  But :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I love the one with the clown head & feet !

I have always loved metal litho toys!  Tell us more about the second photo. Are they color changing tops?

Who doesn't like that top? (except that it is not really a top because of the shoes . . .).  It's surely Bozo the Clown. Here we discussed it: Ohio Art Clown Top

I took the class and did white face on 13" stilts during college as part time pro and a few events while in Navy.
