We used a cricket ball or a Ghoen for this.The art of sock darning , MOM used a big lava shell in the toe to darn ours.
Nobody played cricket on the farm , it was jukskei , rugby and boxing ...
Actually one my grandfather had from his days in an English school as was the norm at the time he grew up. He didn’t do sport but was great at cleaning them for the next match.
Friends had one of these , I often visited just to play snakes and ladders.
Compendium of games , even the word -compendium is forgotten.

@ARYANTO Ahhhhhh Matchbox cars were my brother's pride and joy! Strange how we all seem to have a collector's instinct. As an adult he collect Toby Jugs and what a stunning collection he has too!The real ones that lasted forever. If the doors and bonnet /boot could open it was a favourite till the next one showed up in a birthday package .
Not so much childhood , bit later but...
Agreed, it a masterpiece @ARYANTO .My Mom inherited her grandmothers one, then lent it and some other antiques to friends who started a farm venue for functions as part of the decor/ museum they made. Closed and all of a sudden they don’t remember her ever “lending” anything to them, same with a kiaat riempie bench my grandfather made, but the wheel turns.
I have all 3 of those floppy formats at my parents house!Not so much childhood , bit later but...
