In the 20’s Golden Gate Park lake held model Sail boat races where boat sails were controlled by spring counter timers and rubber bands to change directions by moving the sails. My grandfather told me stories of my dad competing with older men when he was a teenager beating them. My dad had passed away when I was told the stories of my fathers escapades in his youth. Many I’m sure would have never been told to me by him.
The '57' refers to the County number (Linn in this case). I live 1 county away now. Date on the plate looks like '56 or '58 to me. Gary
