Vintage South Bend Six Player Croquet Set # 7856/56 Original Used with booklet

Description

Selling a used vintage South Bend wooden lawn croquet set.  This set is complete and original, only missing is the metal wheels to the caddy.  Includes the original "How to Play Croquet" booklet dated 1946.  Two to six players can play at one time.  The only damage is to the top of the wood caddy.  It was repaired by the previous owner some time ago.  I haven't done anything to it since I purchased it.
This came out of a local estate.
Based on my research, this is model # 7856/56 called the Wheel "N" Play set.  Made in 1956, or earlier.  This is a great heavy duty set.
Due to the size and weight, Fed Ex is
probably
the cheapest shipping option.
Made by the South Bend Toy Company in South Bend, Indiana, USA.
