JAQUES London Croquet Set No. 127 Boxed Complete 4 - 7 Player Vintage 1980's
Thanks for looking
If you're reading this then you'll already know exactly what you're looking at.
The Croquet Set in the photos is the one that you'll recieve. It was handmade in Surrey, England by renowned games producer Jaques of London. Jaques have been manufacturing the finest quality Croquet Sets since the 1975. This particular set has some extra additions included so you can include up to 7 players simultaneously.
I'm no Croquet expert but this Set is No. 127 which I believe was produced in the early 1980's. (Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!).
The set is complete apart from the instructions - which Jaques have very conveniently put on their website as a PDF if you need to print them off.
Details
The Mallets are made from Hardwood (unspecified), balls are a plastic coated wood (I think) and the hoops are iron coated with plastic. It looks like the previous guardian used to Play with 7 people and and extended game as there are 7 balls and 8 hoops included - they must have bought additional parts and shared the mallets. You know how much extra hoops and balls are so its a very useful touch...who wants a couple of people left on the sidelines. Alone, excluded, unloved and feeling cold and dark inside. Now everyone can play and two extra hoops means you can make the game longer without the players at the back waiting around.
What you'll get :
▪︎ Jaques of London Croquet Set
▪︎ Release No. 127
▪︎ 4 x Mallets
▪︎ 7 x balls (3 extra)
▪︎ 8 x hoops (2 extra)
▪︎ 8 x stakes

Condition
Used but very good condition. The mallets have no cracks or marks (but one has a small chip on the head - this doesn’t affect performance). Balls are all intact. Hoops ore good. The box is good with no cracks.
It's not a brand new set but definitely more than good enough for you to enjoy playing for many, many summers to come.
