Wooden Croquet Set in Case
This lot comprises a croquet set housed in a wooden case with a hinged lid. The case appears to be constructed from pine and features a brass hinge and a flat top panel. Inside, a selection of wooden mallets with coloured banding, coloured wooden balls and slender handles is arranged within the case.
The mallets display painted bands in red, yellow, green and black, and the balls are finished in a range of colours including red, yellow, blue, green and black. The case includes a compartment to the front for the mallets and a separate section to the rear for the balls and handles. Further details on the number of pieces included are not confirmed in this description.
Condition and Collector Interest
The case shows general signs of use, including surface marks and light scuffing to the lid. The mallets and balls show wear consistent with age and use, with some visible marks to the painted finishes. The set appears to remain in its original wooden case, which adds to its appeal as a period garden game presented together.
Croquet sets of this type are of interest to collectors of vintage garden games and to buyers seeking traditional lawn pastimes or decorative wooden display pieces. Buyers are encouraged to view the lot in person or request further information before bidding.
