Played “Skelly” from 1951 to 1954 in the Amsterdam Houses on Amsterdam Avenue around 62nd street. I started at 4 years old and my Dad filled the bottle caps for me with wax. It was a way of life. I never left the house without a cap in my pocket. Moved to New Jersey in ’54 and it was hard to keep up the tradition. Taught my daughter…and even my niece and nephew in Nicaragua in the 80’s. During the height of Covid I drew a box and played solo on my patio here in New Mexico. Great memories. Great game!

Grew up at 90th St. and Columbus Ave. Spent a lot of time playing what we called Skullsey. Familiar with your old neighborhood…started at Power Memorial HS at 61st and Amsterdam in ’58!
