Vintage Unicorn Darts (Made In England)

The Big Name In Darts!

A great addition to any dart player's collection. A dozen precision made vintage Unicorn darts in a custom made wooden holder. The darts are marked with "MADE IN ENGLAND BY UNICORN".

Brief History:

In 1937 came the first in a long line of Unicorn darting innovations from Unicorn founder Frank Lowy- the "Silver Comet" - a precision made set of three darts. Prior to this time darts were sold from dump bins in hardware shops and they were all thrown in together, regardless of weight or style.

Since then, Unicorn has pioneered dart technology worldwide. Frank Lowy paid £6 ($8.02) to have made this original prototype set of his patent Silver Comet darts and it was with this single investment that the Unicorn Group was founded.

The sport continues to grow in popularity worldwide, especially in New Zealand. Unicorn Products Ltd are the Official Equipment Provider to the PDC, with their Eclipse HD dartboards used in all tournaments, and they also sponsor the PDC Unicorn Challenge Tour and PDC Unicorn World Youth Championship.

In 1949 Unicorn became the first company to sell darts classified by actual weight, an obvious benefit for all players. To this day, Unicorn is the only company confident enough to guarantee weight accuracy to within 0.33% on most tungsten darts.

Another Unicorn innovation of major significance was the introduction in 1972 of the first commercial tungsten alloy darts which allowed the player the great advantage of slimmer darts for closer grouping. This was followed in 1987 with the introduction of the first titanium tungsten darts and the unique range of Golden Unicorn darts.

Flights, shafts and accessories have not escaped the Unicorn pioneering zeal. From feather flights, they have developed and introduced the first one-piece plastic flight, the modern polyester flight, and in 1955 launched the first flight with impressions on the wing.

Slikstik, Unicorn's patented side loading dart shaft, is a world beater and in 1977 they introduced the world's first steel shaft with replaceable top.

21st century dart technology arrived in 1995 with the launch of QuikSteel. With QuikSteel Spin and Tri-Point, Unicorn launched the world's first rotating, interchangeable integral steel shaft and the world's first rotating, retracting and instantly interchangeable dart point.

Team Unicorn is widely recognized as the finest team of international darts players in the world containing more major tournament wins and winners than any other. It is perhaps the greatest recommendation of the brand that so many great professionals use and promote Unicorn Darts. Team Unicorn continues to expand with new players, new champions and new titles.

Started initially in the 1950s when current Chairman Stanley Lowy signed up the winners of the prestigious News of the World Tournament to promote the company’s darts, Team Unicorn now boasts 5 World Champions, back to back 2015 and 2016 World Champion Gary Anderson plus John Lowe, Bob Anderson, and Raymond van Barneveld. No other brand has more Champions and more Major Championship victories.
