or steelies.. shooters could be steelies too.

i collect glass and stone (aggies) marbles for display. (most of them i've found on the the street, some in dirt of city parks (i've got an eye for them!) some are chipped from encounters with steelies. (i have 2 aggies in the collection of about 50 marbles)

i never much played marbles. but i did play skully and ringalevio (cross threading.. these words/games should be in the old (fashioned) word thread.
