J.L. Lawson Exclusive Copper Top and Holder
Extra Long Spin Times
Handmade by J.L. Lawson & Co., this limited-production batch of spin tops is available only on Massdrop. Each top is made of solid copper and fitted with a tiny tungsten carbide bearing, which helps yield long spin times. With practice, these precision-machined tops will twirl on a flat surface for more than 5 minutes. For storage, grab the additional 5.9-ounce paperweight that doubles as a snug holder when you’re not using the top. Both feature horizontal grooves of different thicknesses, which add aesthetic flair and improve aerodynamics.
Note: At checkout, you can choose to purchase the solid copper paperweight (+ $40). This drop is limited to 50 units.
About J.L Lawson & Co.
For Anthony Lawson, machining is a family affair. His grandfather—the namesake of J.L. Lawson & Co.—opened his first machine shop in 1950. Without the assistance of CNC computer technology, he taught the craft of hand-machining to his three sons. Today, under the guidance of his father, Anthony is learning the trade himself. J.L. Lawson & Co. produces not just tops but also beads, corkscrews, bottle openers, and other finely crafted metal goods to be passed down for generations.
