Vintage wooden croquet set. Croquet is a popular outdoor game of skill, usually played on a grass field or garden lawn. The package includes the following essential accessories: Croquet mallets (bats): The long-handled, T-shaped wooden bats with which the balls are to be hit. Croquet balls: The colored (red, black, yellow, blue) balls shown in the picture. Gates (arches): The metal or plastic wires visible in the background, in the middle of the stand, through which the balls are to be passed. Goal post and stand: The central wooden structure with a handle also serves as a practical carrying and storage stand for the set. It is in absolutely flawless, pristine condition, and has probably never been used. We can post it carefully packaged, in an insured, registered package.
