Crazy old dart board with a baseball game on the back

[MackDigger]

Ok so I found this last year but it was nailed to the wall of my garage and discovered after tearing down insulation. With the winter coming something told me to get it off the wall so I used a razor to as best I could remove it. (It was connected by 7 VERY old nails) anyway I always knew it was an old dartboard but the back blew my mind. It’s a baseball game of some sort. I’m thinking this board is from the 30/40’s if that’s the case it’s incredible to imagine the players who played baseball when this was produced/used. I’m not sure though. Anyone with any Oreo PLEASE HELP. Thanks in advance.

Sorry that I cannot help with the Dart/Baseball Game Board but it is a really cool and fairly old find! Congrats!

Very cool, dartboards I had as a kid had baseball on the back but they weren't square boards they were round.

At first I thought it was a totally different game (baseball board). I thought someone tap'd it to the back of the dart board. So, I searched Google and found a baseball dart board so it makes sense now...

Same here. In the 70's we had a round board with baseball on the back.

The board is long gone but there is still a section of paneling in my parents basement with lots of dart holes in it.

There are plenty of baseball dart examples on the internet. I didn't see any exactly like yours. Based on the style I'm guessing yours is 50's or 60's.

I owned a board exactly like that when I was a kid. We got it for Christmas. That would make it mid to late 1960s.

I bought a square one with the baseball game on the back in the mid 1970s. Mine had inlaid thin brass wires separating the scoring zones on the front though. Mine was also made of solid wood.

Also a baseball dartboard in our cellar in the 1960's - but round.

I'd say 1930's or 1940's would be likely.

Get a few of the old wood barrel feather fletch darts and have at it!

Thanks for all the great responses. I definitely think it’s older than the 60’s just based on the fact that the insulation I found it behind is likely older than that. I can’t find anything quite like it online but this one looks close. Also the dart side is different. It’s not quite the modern “American dart board” we see today but it’s not English either it’s like a mix of the two.

That's some amazing darts vintage style. Looks super authentic.

Looks very authentic. Like the one I had when I was a kid. Those were the days.
