A delightful 6 piece set of nesting toy alphabet blocks
A lovely set of 6 nesting blocks dating from the early 1900's stands 12 3/4" . While not marked, the quality of the lithography indicates German manufacture. The largest block is 2 3/4" square and the other 5 graduate down into that block The condition of the five inner blocks is excellent. The outer one is very good but does show some wear , as expected, as this would be the outer "packaging", and therefore most handled. The lithography covering the sturdy cardboard blocks is quite delightful. The outer block shows Victorian children and their animals at play, the top image is the entire alphabet in lower case letters. The second largest block shows parrots playing with early toys,the top image is a clock face. The third one down shows the heads of four beautiful Victorian children, the top image shows the numbers 1-9. The next one down shows four different wild animals, the top image is the alphabet O-Z in upper case letters.The second smallest shows four different birds, the top image is the alphabet G-J in upper case letters. The smallest block again shows Victorian children in different activities (different from the scenes on the largest block) and the top image is the alphabet A-F in upper case letters.
