About

A Kourt King croquet game set caddy from Rock Rest Tourist Home. The light blue caddy is “I” shaped with three center supports and cross bars at the top and bottom. Each cross bar has six (6) holes at the top and bottom to hold the croquet mallets. The three center supports for the caddy double as a ball carrier. They have rounded shafts and each one has a large notch at the top to load the balls into the caddy. At the bottom of the caddy are two (2) supports. Looped around the middle of the top cross bar is a white plastic carrying strap. A white paper label is affixed to the top cross bar on one side of the caddy. It has the letters [RR] handwritten in pencil.
