The hand-cranked metal spinning top, whereby the top is set in motion by repeated downward plunges of a handle and which 'sings' as it revolves, came in in Victorian times.
However, the 'whip and top' is much earlier than this, where a small conical wooden shuttle is set to spin and then kept going by striking it with a whip. These date back to Elizabethan times, although the skill required to play with them is much greater!!
