Item Description
11x13-5/8x2.75" deep lidded cardboard and wood box has attached paper label on lid showing several Brownies, including Dude, Indian, Policeman, Chinaman and Uncle Sam as well as "The Brownie Blocks" text. Produced by McLoughlin, ©1891 Palmer Cox. Box has wooden sides w/paper labels, some of which have large areas missing (particularly to box bottom) and scattered staining. Lid's main panel is thick cardboard w/paper label and this shows moderate edge wear/dust soiling and has some scattered moisture staining and two 2.5" tears at center right as well as .5" and .75" line punctures to main panel, which has been stapled to wood. Box is VG overall. Set consists of 20 wooden blocks w/illustrated panels on each side that could used to form whimsically illustrated scenes of different Brownies' activities including - ice-skating, musical performance/dance, snowball fight, cutting yule log, etc. Blocks shows wear at edges of paper labels from use w/some scattered flaking, some flakes having wood underneath painted/colored to fill in edges of art. Despite this, blocks remain nice for display. VG/Fine overall. Comes w/photocopy booklet showing block scenes. Scarce as boxed.
