Didn’t anyone use CLAY? Even the poll didn’t include it (sigh). I played in “DA Bronx” in the 70’s. I took this picture of me back in 1994 of the old scully board we played on as youths in the Bronx Park near 219th Street. The updated URL is:

My “king checker” was made from an old “Push-up” bottom stuffed with gold/yellow clay and a small plastic crown — the sweetest cap on the blvd! Man – would I love to get together someday with some old players and bang around the board a bit.

Best,
Terrence
