This is an old English croquet or bocce ball made of very hardwood (lignum vitae?).  It is marked “Taylor-Rolph London” with the number X 1.  There marks are engraved and still quite legible.

The weight and diameter of this ball don’t correspond to modern standards for croquet or boule games balls.  I suppose it is too old for that. The ball has its original black finish and is quite in good condition for its age.

This ball could also be used to complete the antique wood bocce ball game set A0852 also in the boutique.

Dimensions:
3 ¾ inches across, weight is 594 g (1.3 lb).
État/Condition:
Great antique ball in very good shape for its age.  Loss of paint on surface.  Wonderful patina.
