Vintage 1940’s J. C. Higgins, Sears, Roebuck Complete Croquet Set RARE ORIGINAL!

Description: This is an original 1940’s Sears, Roebuck & Co. Croquet Set branded by J. C. Higgins. The wooden set is complete with all mallets, balls, stakes and wickets. It’s also in good condition (please see conditioning notes located at the bottom as there are some). RARE METER: 10/10 - Extremely Rare! Finding one of these this old is very difficult and usually they only appear once every decade or so. I’ve had it for more than 20 years now and it’s part of the same estate that I’ve been processing. Judging by the other croquet sets currently available on eBay and elsewhere this is now one of, if not the finest vintage one available. THIS J. C. HIGGINS CROQUET SET INCLUDES: - 6 wooden clubs - 6 wooden balls - 2 wooden stakes - 10 metal wickets - Croquet Stand (it does NOT have wheels) MEASUREMENTS: 24.75” (length of mallet), 22” (length of stake), 3.5” (diameter of ball) CONDITION: One of the mallets has electrical tape on it - I didn’t do this, clearly the wood underneath is broken. There are nicks and scratches on the handles and heads of the mallets as well as some chipping of the wood and cracking on some areas, in addition - discoloration and color loss due to age. Balls exhibit signs of scratching, scuffing and small chipping. Croquet rack has scratching, knicks and other attributable signs of wear. Metal wickets are bent and show signs of wear, rust, etc. This set is playable. It is not falling apart. This wooden set is very solid, sturdy and can be easily refurbished if so chosen. Overall: GOOD SHIPPING: Fast & free via USPS (for USA). Will ship same day if payment is received by 3pm EST! Free returns! Shipped with care (cardboard backers, bubble wrap, peanuts & or double boxed whenever necessary). Signature confirmation for high value items is required.
