bird-cage


I went to primary school in Newport (3015) in the 50s and 60s and [some marbles were] called after their colours, there were birdcages (an internal net pattern) and americans (opaque with three colours).

Contributor's comments: We also used this term in Newcastle to describe some marbles.
