It was called a Trompo (pronounced: Trohmpō)
Aka a Mexican spinning top.

My grandad would make them himself if his little wood shop and we would paint them ourselves 😁

This is sort of what they looked like

@KaysHealingPath OMG... I used to have one of those. It looked a bit different but it was the same thing

@KaysHealingPath your grandad would make them ? That's amazing!
Did you learn to make them yourself?

@AliceTinker I never learned how and I just realized I called him my granddad but he was my great granddad - he raised my dad and all his siblings when my grandfather passed away while my dad and his siblings were still little

My great granddad died when I was 7 so I had 1 that I loved for many many years but then it vanished when my mom and her husband started moving around a lot. Since it wasn’t a keepsake from her family she didn’t care much when it got lost
