"Turned" "heads" could be bought for a penny. Crab "head" and steel "spear" ideal "top". "Top" was "heavy" or "light" according to how it "felt" on the palm of hand when taken up. "Top" was a "sleeper" or "gleoisín" if it spun so smoothly that it appeared motionless. If not a "sleeper" it was called a "giggler". Putting a straw in with the spear was supposed to make it "light". If a top travelled when spinning it was called a "slinger".
