Very cool vintage Jarts game…difficult to move these things today, but still very neat and cool to have. These sets were sold at Ace Hardware for $5.99 at some point. No date on the box. I was surprised to find a complete set at a thrift store. The manager held them back in the office for me, he never put them out on the floor.
Nice find...I remember playing with these as a kid in the 70s..
"Lawn darts were banned in America by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission in 1988 for the severe danger that they presented. This ban had to be reissued in 1997 and people were urged to destroy the game."
Very cool find!! I too remember playing Jarts back in the 1970's as a kid.
I have a set as well (they were my Mom's). I have only seen them on display once in a local history museum.
