Does anybody have any idea what this might be? It seems like it's iron on the outside and pewter or lead on the inside wheel. IMG_2363.JPG IMG_2366.JPG upload1493180981.327261.jpg upload1493181021.526541.jpg

Gyroscope? Was just playing with one yesterday. Lead on the inside for great centrifugal force

That was a cool video. When I was a kid, we just used them like a top. Looks like we were missing out!
