About this Product
Fidget spinners are all the rage so we decided to do our own rendition. Made from solid Tellurium Copper round bar, these are 100% hand machined on manually operated equipment. Two Buffalo Nickels are pressed into the buttons, one heads and one tails, which really compliment the copper and give this a nice vintage feel. Being copper, this will also develop a nice patina over time.
The bearing is anything but vintage. Costing more than many other complete fidget spinners, we are using a full ceramic 608 bearing with silicon nitride balls and ZrO2 inner and outer races. However, these are not designed to be record-setting spinners. The mass of the spinner is more centrally located, and it is lighter than most machined spinners. And frankly, we could care less about "spin times" - we wanted to design something with a classy, vintage look and feel that will age over time and that you'll enjoy carrying with you, not something that you need a stopwatch and video camera to enjoy.
Dimensions: 1.5" spinner diameter /1" button diameter. ~.625" thick
Weighs about 3.2oz/93 grams

Meet the Maker
Butterfield Machine is a small locally-owned and run machine shop located in Centerville, Utah. All of our products are meticulously hand-crafted unique items that are known for their quality, durability and character.
We are of the opinion that quality, craftsmanship and simplicity matter to people. In the day and age where everything seems to be mass produced as quickly as possible at the lowest cost with the most features, it's rare that you find something of true quality. Ditch the cheap plastic packaging and the "Made in China" sticker, and find something that an individual made, by hand, on their time.
