C-17663
c. 1950s; Knickerbocker Plastic Co. – Glendale, California Offered here is a mid-century Knickerbocker Plastic Co. "Bulls Eye 1000" safety dart pistol and target set, complete with its original lithographed tin target and packaging. The target features bold red, white, and blue concentric scoring rings, designed for use with Knickerbocker’s rubber-tipped safety darts. The original box displays playful period graphics and advertising text, promoting the set as a safe yet exciting alternative to traditional dart games. Knickerbocker Plastic Co., better known for its dolls and toy production, manufactured a range of playsets during the 1950s, reflecting the postwar era’s emphasis on family-friendly entertainment. Surviving sets in their original packaging are increasingly scarce, making this a desirable piece for collectors of vintage toys and advertising ephemera.
