You buy the best with the South Bend Toy label on it, so says their advertising. This is a croquet set for six with the original stand made by the South Bend Toy Co. South Bend, Indiana. It has six mallets, six balls, two post and 9 arches with the original stand. This is the first one I have had that had CROQUET and SOUTH BEND stenciled on the stand. There is also a label on the bottom of the stand from South Bend Toy Co. The arches are good and sturdy croquet arches but there are different thickness to them. The post and the balls are in good condition but have been used. The mallets of course receive all the abuse and I have never had a vintage set that was not used. Which this one is. All the mallets have wear but can still handle alot more abuse or tender loveing care would be nice. The green mallet has a small sliver missing and the black one has a thin crack. In case I have missed something I will say again this set has been used so do not expect it to come any other way. I do real well selling croquet sets and I wouldn't buy one that I thought was in to bad of a condition for anyone to want it. I almost forgot, I am including a copy of an original south bend croquet rule book. No it did not come with this set. I have had it for a long time and copy it to go with the sets because the booklet is a very scrace item.
