Vintage Wooden Character Skittles Set 10 Pins Hand Painted Figures Ball
A charming vintage wooden skittles set comprising ten hand-painted character figures along with the original wooden ball. Each skittle is individually turned and decorated to represent different figures, including soldiers, sailors, and uniformed characters, each distinguished by varied hats, colours, and simple expressive faces.
The set has a strong folk-art feel, with bold colours including red, green, blue, mustard, and cream, and appealing hand-painted detailing such as buttons, ties, and insignia. The variation between figures gives the set real character and makes it an eye-catching decorative piece as well as a traditional tabletop game.

Condition
In good vintage condition with clear signs of age and use. There is general paint wear, scuffing, and rubbing throughout. The painted noses have worn away on all figures due to repeated play, which is typical for sets of this type and period. Despite this, all figures remain solid, and the set displays well with a cohesive aged patina. The original wooden ball is included. Please refer to photographs for full condition detail.
Era
