| The only difference is - no wires!!! It's the same standard board we all use. |

| That is very similar to the first ever board I owned some 20 odd years ago. I used a marker pen to dot where my darts hit on my very 1st 180. |

| Didn't notice this thread when I logged in this morning - first thing I noticed was the numbers in the board instead of around it. Good spot on the colours being the wrong way round.
Out of interest did any of you have a paper board when you were young and did you ever put it in soak overnight? I did, and I wouldn't recommend it lol
The only reason I did it was because we had an old wood board that you had to leave in soak or else the darts would never stick in it. I thought you had to do the same with these old paper boards lol. |

| The numbers change their orientation as they go round the board, if that makes sense? |

| Bull should be black, outer ring yellow?
Not sure why I'm going for that but it looks odd for some reason. |

| Grip wins the prize. The numbers on the top half of the board face in and the bottom numbers face out. Can't say I ever saw this before.
Grip wins a bag of carrots. |

Grip wins a bag of carrots. I would say it's like that because the board was never meant to be rotated and I think if you turn the board over, there will be another board on the back, but for a different game. |

Grip wins a bag of carrots. What's different about that though - look at a normal board and that's what the number ring is like on that. It's so you can read the numbers on the bottom half easier as they aren't upside down. |

| I have a over a hundred dartboards and obviously look at different ones all of the time. I have not seen another one like this. That was the main reason i bought it because it was unusual. |
