| [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] by [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], on Flickr This is a large wooden board. It is about 1 1/2" thick and 20" x 20". This is similiar to the Allen Board or Troy Board I showed last week. It was made in Cohoes New York. If you want one someone is trying to sell it on ebay for $495.00 and only $20.00 for shipping. What a bargain. Unfortunately is has been on for several months and I don't think anyone is biting. |

| Its quite a large board yet the target area is small compared to the overall size, also why did they orientate it like that? surely having it square on would have been better? |

| Actually the round area was close to a 20" diameter and the whole board was close to 36" as far as why the diamond pattern. I don't honestly know. I played these boards for years from the 1970's and up. They were the most popular style boards here in the Watervliet, NY. area. We never paid much attention to the "English" style dart boards with the little darts. |

| Spent many a night and day honing my dart skills in the Watervliet NY, A.O.H. I want to start shooting darts again but cannot locate this style board anywhere. |

| Sounds like its very rare then, I know Mark (Dartbord) has visited some of the places in Philly were they made the old style widdy boards, but not heard him mention this one much other than this thread.
May have to see if you could make one? |

| Yes, I would love to be able to build these boards, I could make a ton of money as well Lol. If I could find the metal dividers I'd be that much closer. I have access to basswood and have a nice woodshop as well. Plans would be great. now I'm really asking for too much. |

| I picked this one up in Brimfield a couple of years ago for under $50. I also have a couple of the Al's boards on my flickr page. Take a look. |

| Very nice collection. I especially like the Champion B18B widdy style board. I just found one like yours. I am going to buy it and hopefully the other style comes by soon. |
