The Turnverein was an association of gymnasts and athletes. They used gymnastic equipment of bars, rings, horses, and pins that were weighted and looked like those used by jugglers. The pins were about eighteen to twenty inches tall, varnished, and painted with a stripe. My mom, Marilyn Schlake Lingwall remembers playing with the pins in the attic when she was young.
