What is an "alley" with a "snake" waved pattern?

shooting marbles was one of the many ways that we amused ourselves as a kid I miss those days.

Simpler times when life was easier...those are the "marble days" 😁

3/5 Black Knight, carried them to school in an old sock. played every recess.

Yeah, we called some of them "aggies" (which undoubtedly came from "agates") but our marbles were all glass. They did have a cool wave of color thru them. I think the aggies were the clear ones with that color wave in them.

QuackingTank2311, Same for me. If someone had an Aggie (agate marble), that was pretty special!

argues were the small ones, sometimes even made of steel. The big ones were considered, or king considered.

Cookie Bean, not so, everyone played with marbles at my school

yeah the boys from the army married quarters estates used to come to school with ball bearings dad brought home from the local RCT base. the fad wore off then it was ball bearings and catapults !!.No nanny state health and safety back then..oh the carnage at the local scrap heap on a weekend.. inevitably banned along with clackers.!.now back to the gentle game of pot marbles.. ; ) ; )

I used to have marbles. I don’t know where they are now though

3/5 Black Knight, me too I loved playing marbles as a child. I was the champion of my street.

loved looking through them. collected them in a bag so could play everywhere. remember stelios?
