Humming top












Czechoslovakia 1970-80, brand Dubena Ceski Dub, material metal and plastic, cm box 18,5x13x14,5, cm 29x18
This vintage “humming top” from Dubena Cesky Dub, Czechoslovakia, dates back to the 1970s–1980s. Unlike ordinary spinning tops, it produces a soft hum while rotating, thanks to an internal vibrating mechanism that adds a playful auditory dimension to its motion.
The top is in brand-new condition and comes with its original box, preserving its retro charm and making it a pristine example of the era’s toy design. Its bold colors and tactile feel reflect the attention to detail and durability typical of Eastern European toys from that period.
Dubena Cesky Dub was known for creating innovative mechanical toys, and this humming top demonstrates both creativity and craftsmanship. It stands out as a small but fascinating piece of toy history, capturing the blend of motion, sound, and design that defined its time.
A unique example of 1970s–1980s toy-making, this humming top represents the enduring appeal of mechanical toys and the ingenuity of Czechoslovakian manufacturers.
