Description

This a rarity. A boxed set of 3 darts with solid sterling silver barrels.

The barrels each carry the hallmarks for Birmingham 1938, with the maker's mark of Adie Brothers Ltd. The silver barrels are scratched, presumably from being hit by other darts on the board. The steel points and plastic (bakelite?) shafts are well attached. I am advised that the flights are macaw feathers. The shafts carry an MFM pat. 664850 and a stamp certifying that the adaptors are 'unicorn'. As can be seen from the photographs, the box clasp has broken and the box is worn on each corner.

Dimensions:

Dart length 13cm

Box - 17cm x 8cm.

Complimentary gift wrapping is available on request.

Post and packaging are free within the UK. Overseas buyers please e-mail for postage costs and please note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying.

Date of Manufacture

The Silver Cabinet has dated these Antique Silver Darts to the 1930s.

FAQs

Darts evolved from a medieval military pastime into a popular tavern sport in Britain during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with wealthier players often commissioning custom sets in precious metals.

Traditional darts from this era typically featured barrels made from solid silver, nickel, or brass, paired with wooden or bone shafts and real bird feathers for the flights, housed in leather-bound or velvet-lined presentation cases.

Authenticity is determined by examining hallmark stamps on the silver barrels, the type of natural materials used for the shafts and flights, and the construction methods of the original fitted storage box.

Displaying cased collectables on a bookshelf, desk, or cabinet adds a layer of curated historical interest and tactile texture to a study or living space.

Keep items out of direct sunlight to prevent fading of the delicate feathers, store them in low-humidity environments, and clean the metal components sparingly using a soft microfiber cloth without harsh chemical polishes.
