Vintage Miniature Wooden Croquet Set Figurine

This item is a vintage-style miniature collectible depicting a croquet set in a storage rack. The central piece consists of a small, rectangular wooden frame stand crafted from dark-stained wood, featuring a two-tier horizontal bar system to hold game equipment. Tucked into the upper slots are four miniature mallets, each approximately 2 to 3 inches in height. The mallet heads and handles are painted with colorful bands of blue, orange, and green to distinguish the 'players.' Beneath the mallets, four small, round wooden spheres representing croquet balls are seated in recessed holes on the bottom rail, matching the color palette of the mallets (red/orange, black/blue, orange, and green). The construction uses small nails and glue, typical of mid-20th-century toy or dollhouse miniatures. Its condition appears moderately aged with some slight dust accumulation in the crevices and minor paint wear on the edges of the mallet heads, which adds a sense of authentic patina. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures on the outward-facing surfaces, suggesting it may have been part of a larger hobbyist kit or a mass-produced dollhouse accessory from the 1960s to 1980s. The scale is approximately 1:12, intended for decorative display rather than functional play.
