Early US Embossing Co. Alphabet and Animal Blocks nude bookends The box measures 10 7/8"

The box measures 10 7/8" wide x 8 7/8" deep x 6 3/8" tall

The only actual flaws I have found are two tiny chips on the lips of two of the bowls (one on each)--very minor

or a beard

Or perhaps it was used for storing tobacco

and imagine that he referred to it quite a lot

Early US Embossing Co. Alphabet and Animal Blocks nude bookends The box measures 10 7/8"A great, well used, early set of blocks, early 20th c. and made by the US Embossing Company I believe with letters (on four sides, in two different styles) and animals on the two others. I of course believe one can never have too many sets of blocks, and alphabet blocks especially in order to be able to spell out all sorts of messages! 1 13 16 cubed. Well worn as evident, but in my opinion all the better for it.
