Sweet Old Wooden Rainbow Stacking and Spinning Toy American art it is just the momentumYou know I love an old wooden rainbow colored stacking toy, and this is a sweet one, which is not only good for stacking but also for spinning like a top! And it's a pretty old one I think, maybe 1930s or 40s, with plenty of wear and fading of the color, which I think just make it better. Pretty indestructible as a toy but also nice just sitting on the shelf, or better yet on a table or desk where it can be spun around. 5" tall x 3 3 4" in diameter,
