Lovely, Early Old Set of Color Cubes in Wooden Box old bowl one split on the right

one split on the right side of the chest

wishing her a happy holy day with her father and brother

and think they're all the more beautiful for their wear and imperfections

with a little light scratching on a couple of the coasters as documented

Quite a marvelous thing

Lovely, Early Old Set of Color Cubes in Wooden Box old bowl one split on the rightOne of the things I love about these old U. S. Embossing Co Color Cubes, is that each set has its own personality, based on when made and how much used over the years. While a small set at 16 blocks, I think this is my favorite set I've had, with the color on the old painted surfaces now feeling soft and almost ethereal, and also the solid blue ones appearing almost black. These are an early set, in a wooden bottomed box rather than a cardboard one
