Description |
Metal and plastic score keeper for golf. Vertically oriented. The interior is a metal panel with rounded corners. Over the top of both sides is a clear plastic cover. The edges are ridged. Across the front on both sides are a series of nine horizontal rows where the plastic opens and a small silver piece can slide side to side to keep score. The outer edge is white on both sides. On one side the border is green and has numbers 51-100 in white around the perimeter of the score keeper. The main panel inside the green border is white and has "HEALTHWAYS" AND "LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA" at the top. At the bottom are two stars, "Hollywood / America's Ways to Health". Along the open lines in the plastic are a series of numbers in black, 1-10, and down the center is a line of numbers in red, 10-18. On the other side the border is red and has inside the numbers 1-50 in white. The center panel is white, and has the same silver pieces to slide through the openings in the plastic. The same numbers (1-10) appear in black horizontally along those open lines and there is a vertical line of numbers in gree, 1-9, down the center. At the top of the white panel, in green, is "STROKMASTER" and at the bottom is (in black) U.S. PAT. 2,402,525" and (in green) "GOLF SCORE KEEPER". On the outside edge of this side, visible on the other side as well, is a small metal clip that appears to slide up and down the edge of the scorekeeper, likely keeping track of which hole the golfers are on. |

Provenance |
This piece belonged to Johan Johansen, the donor's paternal grandfather. It could have also been used by his son Eilif as the two played golf together. Hans Peter Johansen became Johnsen/Johnson after immigrating and settling in Sac County, Iowa, but changed it back after moving to Tyler, Minnesota. His wife was Marie Haugard. Their children were, in order of birth, Anna, Johan (b. 1888), Christian, and Peter B. (b. 1895, d. 1988). Johan married Sigrid Hansen, daughter of Hans and Frederikke. Their children were (in order) Ove, Gunver, Eilif, Valborg, Halvor, and Svend. Johan was a bus driver for Tyler and drove kids to the Danish school. Eilif was the donor's father. He grew up in Tyler, attended the Danish school through about 6th grade (his siblings only went through 2nd or 3rd grade). He attended Grand View College (now University) in Des Moines, Iowa for two years. He also served during WWII. As an adult he trained and did field work with black labs, and then had his mink farm. He also worked in his father's hardware store in Tyler, and later owned it himself. The farm that Margie lives on was owned previously by her father Eilif, though the latter never lived there. He instead had the house for his hired hand. Eilif lived in town, and used this place as a mink farm. Margie and her husband purchased the house from Eilif in the mid 1970s, and then built a new brick home just south of the original wood structure. Johan and Eilif played golf together, and Johan was instrumental in establishing the Tyler golf course. |
