shows some of the original paint still hanging on where it would least have been handled--a wonderful yellow on the top of the rockers

Early US Embossing Co. Alphabet and Animal Blocks nude bookends and two buffaloA 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.
