Remember playing skelly during my summers in Brooklyn. Grown men, kids, old heads was all playing. Good times

I’m from the Bronx and that’s what we played in the mid-late 60s and 70s!!! It is a great game!!! We used baby food caps, checkers, or bottle soda caps back in my day!!! WoW!!! 🌈☝️✝️☝️🌈 Fun memories!!!

I was Skelly Champ of P@ 127 park in Queens in 1958. We used bottle caps with melted wax in them. The bottoms were made smooth by rubbing them on asphalt.

Man these youngens dont know how good we had it back in the days we didnt waste our time on iphones or tv we created our own theater outside we played skelzies stick ball tag kick the can and we didnt stay home we was out doing something with friends in the neighborhood and family parties all kinds of things we had the best music in them days im talking the 70s was the best

kids today don't know nothing about this game I remember playing this game from sun up to sun down skelly old school bring back the 80s

i remember playing skelly outside with bottle tops back in the 80's with my cousin, thanks for posting this! brings back memories of growing up in NY before everybody was hooked to the internet and smart phones.

I used to play this in the Bronx in the early 60s, then later in Brooklyn. This guy is a man's man. Thanks for passing skelly down to the kids!

Old school Bro. passed down! played in El barrio in the 70's. this game been around for a long time thanks for showing it. stickball, Johnny and the Pony, and skelly's.

Born & raised in the South Bronx....i miss these days! In the absence of posessons, creativity takes center stage!

Word. This shit is awesome. I spent hours dripping wax into bottle caps to put weight onto my Scully caps.

Throw back of the century...New Kids have no idea...We use r play this for hours..Burned my hands plenty of times with candel wax..
