The steel marble is called a Steely .We find those on old school grounds.Neat bunch of Marbles...

Yep #15 is a Steely, the curse of school yard marble games, and the product of the "No Steely rules". Flick them hard enough and they would shatter the glass marbles.

Just remembered something, my mom used to fry marbles for us. She would heat them up in an old skillet then drop them into ice water. Would crack them inside and make some neat shapes. And when hit with a Steely they would tend to explode. Heaven forbid someone doing that today, the Child Protective Services would be all over you.

Yeah, they'd probably require all children playing with marbles to wear gloves and goggles............if they allowed it at all.
