Whirl, Spin the Top Game
1–4 players · 20 min · 6+
A spinning top game distributed under Shackman's name.
I've seen a couple of different boxtops for the game. They all seem to be made in Japan, so I'd guess after WWII, so circa 1950 for the games.
Basically there is a concave bowl which has balls which are knocked in holes with point values along the edge of the bowl area.
