ruckle v _Rucklin Hoops_ - The most important thing in rucklin hoops was to find a stiff piece of wire; this was very rare and if you were lucky enough to [over] [reverse] find a piece, the boys came from all around just to see how good of a brake you would make for your hoop especially if you had enough wire life over to buckle it down to make a handle. Of course if you had a good piece of wire like this you had to find a good galvanized hoop and nine choices out of ten, you'd have to swipe this off somebody's water barrel because every cast hoop was collected by a man coming around to buy hoops - he paid a penny for each hoop." This gadget filled any owner with delight . They would roll this along the road and use the brake to stop it.
