Wanted Marbles

[THEFALLGUY]

I'm looking for largish marbles - not the small ones. Let me know if you have any you want to sell.

 

[Stressed]

You mean dobbers?

I lost mine.

Dobbers and Potty Dobbers

That’s brings back fond memories of playing marbles at school on drain covers…..

Keepseys or just friendly.

Probably not allowed to do marbles at skools now.

1. Risk that the "mixed ability" kid may eat marbles....so nobody's allowed them.
2. Health and safety risk from going near a drain cover/ the ground / outside.
3. Marbles is competitive and you're no longer allowed "winners".
4. "Globbers" is an unwanted reminder of the segregation of " larger marbles" and could damage the mental health of the "overly weighted" kids.

I remember that child eating a couple of big dobbers. The teachers fed him leftover school sandwiches to “speed up the process” must have hurt.

Probably smashed the pan when they finally flew out...
