The man at our corner shop was called Roly. For years he wore his khaki army blouson. He was so very patient when we all took ages to make up our minds.
In the pavement on our road there was a natural hollow and we played in that. And we all had our little marble bags. I still have a big box of marbles, I just love the colours and the feel of them. My grandkids use to play with them. So many ways to play.
We'd play for the big ones, or some of the unique ones.
Wow! Who knew? Most of mine are the ordinary glass ones with a coloured swirl inside - could those be 'cats eye' = but I do have some special ones including some I bought. I might sort them out and compare them to these.

We had a marble craze when I was in elementary school. Lessee, that would've been late 60s, early 70s. All the kids (including me) would bring their marbles to school and play "for keepsies" at recess until the school administration had to ban them.
I wonder what happened to all my marbles?
I wonder if some of them might have got into my marble box somehow.:)
At the time of this photograph, refrigeration was probably not a common appliance and as such the rabbits and poultry were butchered each day for the public to buy at the store. This is still a common sight in many third world countries. Another interesting aspect shown in this image is that the "local" store was a common meeting place for the people living near the store.
