Not sure if this is some decoration or a part to something. It has stilt marks from firing and a small hole in the bottom

You say "from firing"..as in fired clay?

Primitive pool ball?

Terracotta Fire Ball ?

Decorative geometric shaped ceramic objects for fire pits or fireplaces. Fire balls and fire rocks for fireplaces.

There used to be a toy called clackers that was banned because the balls would shatter, it was in the 70's, maybe that is one of the balls from one of them?

Yes it is a red clay I believe with glaze

you forgot bb guns

you forgot bb guns

BB and pellet guns now use something called "green gas".
I guess CO2 gets a bad rep for being bad for the environment?

Frankly, I don't know much about air guns anymore.
But it wouldn't surprise me to learn there's a nanny state at work here somewhere....

What's a 'nanny state'?

I used to love Clackers, the glass ones, not the plastic ones.

Green gas is probably Nitrogen.
