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.

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!
