Help with translation please

[Mary E Leveille]

I have been translating (or trying to) a story my grandmother wrote many years ago. I am confused about an important sentence. Could someone please translate it for me?
 
nu fick man också ett besök av farmor, en liten fin gumma, som i unga år vuxit upp i ett grevlight hem.
 
I also need to know what a klapptavla and a klappträ are.
 
Thank you

Hi Mary, I've tried to translate it for you. I hope you understand the meaning.
 
now grandmother also came for a visit, a nice old little woman, who in younger years, grow up in a count's home
 
Klappträ = Batlet, Beater (to use when you do the laundry)
 
The word klapptavla, someone else has to help you with since I don't know what it is.
 
Hope this helps,
Anne
