Ahrens Great Golf Games

Post by pennymachines »

Every so often, when you think you've seen them all, something like this turns up.
Ahrens single player Great Golf Game which belongs to a collector in the States.
I've seen no patent, advert or mention in the books of this wonderful game. Looks like a lot of fun to play!

Looks Awsome. Pretty similar to the Chester Pollard Play Golf.

I have just re-found this picture I was sent several years ago of this Ahrens golf machine in a private collection. It is a single player game and looks similar to the Chester Pollard machine which I played some years ago. Has anyone else seen or know of this machine or have a better picture? Looks a fabulous machine. Like many of us I would love to see it even if I could not own it!

Post merged as I now remember I saw this one before... :o It's now in the Museum.
Strange that more of these have not survived.

Would like to play this game. What a strange bottom rail to the window frame. I realise that it follows the course contour but looks quite odd.

Great picture of a lovely machine, which doesn't seem to be in any of the books. Thank you.
Now in the Museum.
