The wooden set originally consisted of the 9-holes, two wooden shafted 5 1/2" putters with metal heads, six steel golf balls, rules, blank score cards and a golf bag.

Putt-In-Play - a 1930's minigolf toy
We love the look of this 1930's parlor golf putting game made by Gibbs Toys of Canton, Ohio, USA.
The wooden set originally consisted of the 9-holes, two wooden shafted 5 1/2" putters with metal heads, six steel golf balls, rules, blank score cards and a golf bag.

Putt-In-Play by Gibbs Toys, circa 1930
A look at a Parlor Golf putting game from the 1930s.
We love finding and showcasing games, interesting items, ephemera, stories and history from the world of minigolf.
The Crazy Golf Museum is home to a number of fun, old and interesting items.
Yesterday I posted about the Parlor Golf game made by Parlor Golf MFGR. Co. of La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA in the USA.
Putt-In-Play
Today's putting game for Minigolf Monday is the Putt-In-Play set by Gibbs Toys of Canton, Ohio, USA.
A 9-hole set up of Putt-In-Play |
Also known as The Parlor Golf Game, the 9-hole wooden set has a nice range of obstacles to putt through.
Hole 1 |
Hole 2 |
Hole 3 |
Hole 4 |
Hole 5 |
Hole 6 |
Hole 7 |
Hole 8 |
Hole 9 |
The Putt-In-Play set originally consisted of the 9-holes, two wooden shafted 5 1/2" putters with metal heads, six steel golf balls, rules, blank score cards and a golf bag.
It's ace to look back at historic items from days gone by. The Putt-In-Play layout looks quite similar to Beton and Eternit types of miniature golf that were created in the 1950s and are still very popular in Continental Europe.

99p for the Feta cheese. £9.99 for the Mini Golf Set |
What you get in the box - two putters, two balls, two holes, four obstacles, scorecards and an instruction book. It's a well made set and the obstacles work when you putt throughover them |
There are twenty scorecards in the pad - with details in German, English and French |
A closer look at the obstacles - gate, seesaw, climb and wavy track |

Funny things about being a Coeliac #10 - Play-Doh is NOT gluten free
It's not just food that contains gluten - toys do too!
As today - 16 September - is National Play-Doh Day it's worth noting that Play-Doh is not gluten free as it contains dreaded Wheat!
The mind boggles!
Obviously Play-Doh is NOT a food product and is NOT meant to be eaten, but there are cross-contamination risks if Coeliacs touch/use/play with Play-Doh.
Hasbro, the manufacturers of Play-Doh in the UK, have helpfully put together a warning on the product packaging and also on the Ingredients section of the Play-Doh FAQ & Tips website. Although rather than mentioning the autoimmune reaction - or gluten intolerance - it say that an 'allergic' reaction may occur with use of the product.
The Coeliac UK website has some further information on play dough products and even has a recipe for making your own Gluten-free play dough.

A big barrel of Play-Doh. This was as close as I dared get to it |
