NAMES OF MARBLES

The common marbles used by boys everywhere are called mibs, fivers,

commies, migs, megs, alleys, and dubs. A very large marble is a bumbo

and a very small one a peewee. Glass marbles are called crystals and

those made of agate are called reals. The choicest real is supposed

to be green and is called a “mossic” or “moss real.”
