Franklin Recreational Dart Game Set (not authenticated)

This item is a recreational dart game set housed within its original molded clear plastic packaging blister. The dartboard features a traditional bristled or paper-wound target face with a vibrant color scheme consisting of sections in bright pink, vivid green, and black, separated by a thin metal spider wire frame and dividers. The scoring numbers are displayed in a bold green sans-serif typeface around the perimeter of the black outer ring. The board size is listed on the packaging as 17 inches by 1/2 inch. Included in dedicated slots within the plastic casing are six brass darts with color-coordinated flights and shafts, split into two sets of three featuring pink flights on one side and green flights on the other. Text printed on the packaging includes the brand name 'Franklin', 'Recreational DART GAME SET', item number 'No. 3512', and safety warnings alongside descriptive details such as 'English 20 point game on front with baseball game on back'. The overall condition appears to be new or unused, sealed inside the original packaging with minimal surface scuffs on the transparent plastic cover. The attribution in the name rests directly on the clearly legible brand logo and model text printed on the exterior packaging.

Based on what I can see in the photograph, this Franklin Recreational Dart Game Set appears to be in unused condition, safely sealed within its original molded clear plastic packaging. The packaging clearly displays the brand name 'Franklin' and item number 'No. 3512', along with the 17-inch board dimensions and descriptive text regarding the dual-sided gameplay. However, I can't verify from a photo alone the exact age, manufacturing materials, or whether the packaging has ever been professionally tampered with or resealed. Physical inspection would be needed to confirm the precise condition of the bristle or paper-wound target and the brass darts inside. The basis for my value estimate relies on the assumed brand identification and the appeal of vintage or retro recreational sports equipment to casual collectors. Demand for mid-tier recreational game sets of this nature tends to be modest, driven primarily by nostalgia rather than fine art investment value. If the set is indeed a standard vintage production piece under the Franklin name, it typically commands a modest market range of $25 to $45. Should physical inspection reveal that this item is a modern reproduction, replica, or part of a later reissue rather than an older period piece, the value would likely decrease closer to $10 to $20. To establish full provenance, confirm precise manufacturing dates, and evaluate the item without reliance on visual packaging alone, an in-person examination by a vintage toy and game specialist would be required.
