The top you will be getting looks like this one -- horses in the same order. It shows the "Odds On, Pat. App'd. For" engraved on the top of the spinner.
¶ the horses names are (in this order): Yutoi-Envoy-Harrier, Scamp, Sicyon, Golden Corn.
¶ "Odds On, Pat. App'd. For" is engraved on the top of the spinner.   Famous British race horses, c. 1920's. (Yutoi was born 1917 and Golden Corn 1919.  In the U.S., anyway, horses raced about 2,3 4 years after birth.  Please correct me if I am wrong about that.) Probably made for the British market.
¶ The odds on top spin independently of the bottom (horses' names.)  All metal.

¶ Nice condition.  Spins fine.  Actual Put & Take you will be getting is virtually like the one pictured here except that the odds top part has the white ink largely gone, but the numbers are engraved and you can add ink/paint/soap to show the odds more clearly, though fine the way it is now. Very nice shiny nickel or silver plate brass on the bottom. Serrated knob as in upper picture.  Viewing from above, you can often read "Patented April 1921," but this old one is worn there (as are many) -- you can read some of it like "patented, April .. .....9 ....."
¶ about 1-1/4", 32 grams. All metal -- looks like a steel upper level and  silver or nickel plated brass bottom level.   Both levels rotate independently when you spin the top.
¶ from about the 1920's.
¶ bi-level in that the odds (on top) spin/move  independently of the horse names (on bottom).
¶ the horse names are: Grey Lag, Colin, Man-O-War, Morvich, Zev, and Spark Plug.
¶ very fine condition.
¶ full details and another picture are on my put and take personal collection page. It is #4 in the picture and table near the bottom of that page.  As noted there, these PT4 (#4) tops were also made without the patent date engraved on the top of the top.  Here is one I sold recently.
¶ Here is another one of these I recently purchased for rather little.  Yours for only $45.00. It is in very fine condition/engraving, except that the nickel-silvery suface coating didn't go on so well in manufacture.  Plus it was photographed in a strange yellow light.
¶ Here is another one I have for sale.

¶ What is REALLY GREAT and unusual about this one is that the engraved letters/numbers that circle the top from above are clear and easy to read: "Patented April 1921 No. 1374243."  (The "9" in "1921" is not too clear, and I might be off a numeral in that long patent number.)  Often you see these engravings virtually worn all away.
¶ the horse names are: Morvich, Pillory, Lucky Hour, Bunting, Colin, and Man-O-War, all famous winning U.S. racehorses from 1907 to 1921.
here is another one I recently sold.  And here too.

(This is REALLY sold only as an interesting novelty.  You REALLY wouldn't want to use it for cheating/gambling because, morality aside, players would get suspicious when the top would land on Put 90% of time!)

I have just acquired another one of these: noticeably larger, clearer/sharper inscriptions (T3, P3, etc.), which does not spin as well or smooth, but looks great and spins well enough.  You may have it for the same $35 price.

Seller told me "Galeries Lafayette is a famous chain of shops in France. I believe they've been around for over 100 years. I've previously sold antique shop advertising handles with their name and mark on them."

Click here for bigger picture.
Wonderful vintage conversation peice, must-have for the Put and Take collector. This is a very rare piece.  It is the first one I have seen on eBay all these years.  I have one in my personal collection (click here to see it, near the top of that page), and it is in poor condition with parts missing.
¶ As shown, it disassembles to be a: put & take top, 3 small dice, a working compass and a presumably working mechanical lead pencil.  Not shown here, but I just discovered that the red tip end also unscrews to show a metal tip for a dip-ink pen!  
¶ sides read: take all, put all, take one, put one, put two and takes two.
the Put and Take top spins very poorly even though it is in mint condition, so I guess it was made poorly spin-wise to begin with. Of course, the game can be played even if the top does not spin -- it flops about and lands on one side randomly.  And as noted, this wonderful, vintage  piece is sold as a unique collectible, not  as a playing piece!

"O-BOY" Bonne Chance Corporation metal put & take spinner -- 1-1/2" across (the size of a poker chip!).  A wonderful put and take -- it uses the term  "win" instead of  "take," and "lose" instead of "put." Fine condition, spins terrifically, endlessly. A bit soiled, but I made no effort to clean it up, though it is OK as it is now.  Very desirable piece.  To see the name of the New York City manufacturer on the reverse side, click here.

(Of course, the game can still be played if the top does not spin, but flops about like dice -- just as with a spin, the top will finally land with one side showing.)

¶ left-handed P&T.
¶ sides read: take all, put 3, take 1, put 4, all put, take 3, put 1, take 2.
¶ attractiveness: yes, and attractive cute box in overall good shape (very minor wear in some places).
¶ readability: fine.  Slightly disconcerting at first is that the sections on the paper strip do not line up perfectly with the six flat sides, as seen in the picture on the left.  But the players would get used to that, and this is well-priced as a collectible.
¶ handle: short wood handle, could have been longer, but adequate.
¶ ease and quality of spin: playable spin each time, though some spins wobble more than others at first, but with practice you soon get all smooth, long spins.
