EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mechanical tally counter from the 1960s, created by Veeder-Root. Once owned by Chris Dundee, the original proprietor of the iconic World Famous 5th St. Gym in Miami Beach, Florida, this tally counter holds immense historical significance. Known as the birthplace of champions, this boxing gym witnessed numerous fighters rise to fame, including none other than Muhammad Ali. The small round mechanical counter is flawlessly captured in this image; however, its reset knob is missing – a testament to its years of use and storied past. The left side proudly displays manufacturer information while revealing that it is currently set at an intriguing number: 2085. As an artifact representing black history and cultural heritage in America, this metal and plastic counting machine symbolizes not only sportsmanship but also resilience and determination within African American communities during the mid-20th century. Its presence within the National Museum of African American History and Culture further solidifies its importance as a tangible piece of our nation's narrative. With vibrant colors capturing attention against a backdrop reminiscent of that era, this photograph invites viewers to reflect on both personal stories and broader societal transformations tied to race relations in the United States. Through objects like this Veeder-Root tally counter once owned by Chris Dundee himself, we can explore how sports have played a significant role in shaping our country's history while honoring those who paved their way through passion and dedication.
