Name for this type of spin top

[bobv608]

I made this spin top that spins on top of a pedestal and catches on a rim instead of falling off when it stops spinning. I believe there is a name for this type of top, but I'm not having any luck coming up with it. Any help?

It's a "finger top"...not a "throw" or "drop" top.

I only know this because I coincidentally saw a video of one very recently. It’s called a Trumkreisel, which roughly translates to a top on a pedestal.

Slight misspelling with two letters reversed -- should be tURmkreisel [finally get some use from what German I know from my academic days]

Turmkreisel just what I was trying to find. Thank You Michael and R Henrickson.
