I held my own at marbles and won a big bag full playing "Keeps", but haven't played since grade school.

The worst thing about playing marbles at my age is getting up off the floor when the game is over
I have jars of marbles hundreds I’m sure. I don’t know anything about marbles but I’ve heard some of them are worth $
I may have some but have no idea the good ones from the new ones. Some definitely look old but I guess I need a book.Some old marbles have a fairly high cash value.
Now I gotta get a muzzleloaderWhen you shoot them out of a muzzleloader they stay intact until impact as well.........just in case anyone needs to know that.

Back in the 60's/70's - my best toy was a paratrooper Action Man - (in the USA he was called G.I. Joe) - made by a company called Matel - I threw that Action Man out of many windows and tree's - eventually getting his parachute to deploy more times than when it didnt - customised his body by giving him scars and wounds with a hot needle 
- then painting around them with red acrylic paint -
My sister Wendy had Cindy (Barbie) dolls - and occasionally while she was playing with Cindy in her Cindy Kitchen - I'd parachute my Action Man into it - shoot it up - and arrest Cindy for cooking the worst sorta plastic food ever - which had my sister screaming 'Mum! - Muuuum! - he's kidnapping Cindy again! -

Same here
I wasn't even spunk in my Dad's bollocks till 1959 - but did have a Frisbee in the 60's - the dogs loved it big time - chasing it all over the field - and usually bringing it back -
Knocking down toy soldiers and playing cards with rubber bands kept me busy for a while.
Frisbee is a big thing here. We have a frisbee golf park just down the road. It’s always loaded with folks playing. Fancy frisbees now too

me too Gypsy. We were babies together
Our favorite game was Top War. You tried to knock the other guy's top the farthest. Or even demolish it.
Hey @Littleleaf -- I gots sumpin a whole lot easier and weatherproof: Soak a buncha 2"x2" rifle cleaning patches in melted candlewax. Roll 'em up like joints (you reefer addict, you) let 'em cool, and keep 'em in a baggy.Morning
Going to hit 60f today. So, no need for thermal panties.
@bigsur51 If you run across some Fat Wood chunks from them pines. I'll pay for the shipping for a few sticks. Need some for the bugout/ camping kits. Absolut best thing for starting a fire. We don't have pines in my neck of the woods.
They are waterproof to the point you could store them underwater, will light instantly in the soggiest conditions, and a LOT of them take up no room atall.
