This set of nesting blocks was copyrighted in 1947 and made by Saml Gabriel Sons & Co., New York. It is marked as "Series - L". There are a total of six blocks in their original carton. I assume there was a lid at some point, but this is now gone. They are sturdy hardboard or cardboard blocks, each with two pictures of children engaged in an activity, toys, food, furniture, clothing items and other everyday things a child might encounter. The pictures are colorful and charming with their glimpse into vintage childhood life in the late 40's. I would rate the condition as very good. The largest block has the most wear on its edges as is usual in a set like this. buying The second, only mild wear and the rest of the blocks only show slight wear on the open corners. Outer box does have a tear in cardboard at one corner. Other than outer box, thereToy are no tears, stains or other issues. Largest block measures 6" square; smallest is 4 1/8" square on top and 5 1/2" long. Eminently collectible or still a wonderful toy.
