Anyone lose a Gyroscope, sixty years ago?

Did anyone lose a Gyroscope, sixty years ago? I found it when we were digging away the soil at the back. It must have been under the concrete path which I think was built at the same time as the garage. Not sure how old the garage is but I think it was already there in 1958.

I thought it was spinning top at first but then I noticed the concave ends and the hole in the shaft to put a string in it to spin it. The rest must have rusted away. I thought it was cast zinc but as it has some verdigris on it it’s probably brass.

I’m going to clean it up and see how it comes out.
