FRom a text written by an Argentine writer in the 60s about his childhood:
Solían llegar allí jugadores de otros barrios, con camisetas coloridas y botines con tapones, lujos de los equipos mas vistosos, con la número 5, la redonda cuyo olor a cuero perfuma la memoria. Los lugareños, más modestos, ensayábamos nuestras habilidades en la pelota de trapo (una media rellena de diarios) o en las de goma saltarina y frágil entre tanto vidrio y laterío.
I think goma salterina might be rubber bands, but that makes the use of "frágil" a little confusing...
THANKS

bouncy gum
I am pretty sure it refers to the toy made of gum/latex/resin in the shape of a small ball, that you can throw and watch it bouncy forever. I loved it when a child.

In the text he refers to the material of the ball, reason I suggested "gum" and not "ball".

Silly Putty was fun too, but was thinking about this: https://www.amazon.in/Dozen-Assorted-Colored-Glitter-Bouncy/...
