Antique Partial Croquet Set in Wood Storage Box
Antique Partial Croquet Set in Wood Storage Box
$165.00
What a perfect accent for your next outdoor party, man-cave, lawn art or garden décor. This is an instant rustic croquet collection with 20 pieces that uniquely represent this popular yard game. I think the pieces were all part of the 1920s original set, except for the wickets. They are equally old and rustic but do not quite fit in the storage box.
All the pieces, except for the wickets, fit neatly in a hand-made sturdy wooden box with Antique Croquet #8 written on top (newer addition). The lid is included but does not have a current fastener for the box. It appears it was simply nailed on originally. It would be easy to add a fastener if you want for storage. Dimensions: 35" x 7" x 7"
Other pieces included in the box:
- Four wooden mallets with yellow, black, white or red painted on the base of the handle. Appear to be hand-hewn. They insert into the mallet heads with chiseled ends. Painted gray. Very rustic - chippy paint, usage marks and aged color bands. The black appears to be repainted. Wonderful vintage vibe. Dimensions: Mallet head - 2 /8" diameter, 5" long, Mallet Handle - 29" when inserted into head. 4 included
- One striking stick with orange, white, black pink, green, red, black and yellow bands. The black appears to have been repainted. The pink is almost completely rubbed off. The color bands are unevenly sized. Metal ring for the top, chiseled end for inserting in ground. Wonderful vintage vibe. Dimensions: 22 1/2" long to end of point, 1 1/4" diameter at top
- Six blue painted wooden balls. Hand lathed so imperfectly shaped. Very rustic - chippy paint and usage marks on some more than others. One smaller ball for some reason? Dimensions: 3 1/4" for 5 and 2 3/4" for one
-Set of eight vintage white and rusty croquet wickets. All of these wickets are heavily aged but still great for use in a croquet game. Each have bent metal, rusty, chippy paint and overall age to them. Dimensions: 10" long x 10" wide, some have bent metal and measure a bit off from the 10x10.
