Early 'Impactor' Golf Swing Measure Device in Box

Could this be the first “Trackman”? The three dials on the face of this device shows it measured yards, elevation (“launch angle”) and ball direction (slice, pull). It came in its own wooden box that is well made with dove tail joints. It has a bramble golf ball (only part of cover remains) attached to a rope which you apparently then hit with a golf club and then viewed the measurement results on the dial. Although the device is not dated the bramble ball seems to date the device to the 1910s or 20s. It was patented in both Britain and the USA. Hinged lid to the box with convenient leather carry handle. Measures 11 x 8 x 5 “ Displays nicely with the cover open, would make a great conversation piece, and rightly belongs in a golf museum
