Nursery Toy Wooden Croquet Set in Rack - Artisan Dollhouse Miniature

Description

This is a cute little nursery toy that consists of a wooden croquet set.
It is a great vintage piece from the very early 1980s.
This sweet little toy would be a wonderful addition to a nursery or toy shop.
It consists of a nice natural wood rack with holes in the top for the four removable wood croquet mallets, each painted in different color details. Across the bottom of the rack there are four wooden balls (each painted with their associated color). The balls are glued in place (but might be able to be removed if you do it carefully). The mallets are all removable.
Note: The size of this set is not large enough for 1:12 child dolls to play. It is just a bit too small. I suspect it is either meant to be half-scale (1:24) or to be a croquet set for your mini child's dolls (so, toys for your doll's dolls).
This is a marvelous toy for your mini nursery!
The bottom of the piece is signed "ET." I do not know who this artisan is. If you know whose piece it is, please message me, as I like to keep the history with each piece I sell when I can.
