 It's very old. Made of wood. It's a cup connected by a rope to a ball. You have to try to put the ball into the cup in the air. It's difficult.

 Thanks to everybody. It seems it's so old nobody plays it anymore and it has many names and probably younger people don't even know what it is. THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL THE INCONVENIENCE.

 It my be an old toy, but I still got mine! The Brand name was : BOLO. They've made a new version "easier" with the "cup". The old one had a hole in the round head and a kind of rod on the top of the handle. you had to put the ball (hole) onto the handl
