Ah ball "Eledo".... Dis ball get one unpleasant smell like dat and it was tricky to play.

I still prefer junk ball ( Lots of papers you mold into ball shape and wrap It up with nylon then you began play 4 post inside empty classroom ) to this anytime anyday.


Who still remember "chewgum alayo" ?.. . One flat chewgum that has a yellow wrap with small fancy card Inside.

Lol... you be real ghetto oldie.... grin

Most of the inputs are wrong.

This is made from what we used to call a gum tree. A cut on the tree makes it bleed a gummy substance that gets thicker eventually.

Wrapping and folding that substance creates the ball in the above picture.

Just cut the bark of the gum tree and the white liquid drops from it is what forms the ball. I made it myself during those old days.

I tell you, it was a mystery to us. grin

As kids, we used to wonder. We decided to mold the raw material (from rubber tree) as usual like ball, put it inside hot water and cook it grin yet no sign of swelling up.

Had to look at it very keenly before I recognized it. Jeez,the ball can bounce! It bounces so erratically sometimes your eyes can't keep up. Awesome ball.
