Parquetry Design Blocks Enlarged (Milton Bradley Co. #8439)

A beautiful set with two sheets of color designs (8 total) and original wooden tiles in a box, 8.5 x 5.5 x 2 inches. About Near Fine condition, minor abrasion and wear to the box, still quite crisp overall. Just about the nicest copy you could imagine. Not advertised as part of Bradley's Kindergarten Material series, but aligned with Froebel's seventh Gift. Catalog excerpts from Bradley's School Materials and Books Catalogue "A" 1923.

8340 These interesting tablets are made of wood and colored in the six colors. They are also of assorted forms, the diamond and half square. With these simple forms hundreds of elaborate and beautiful designs can be made. This work is pleasing to children of all ages, in kindergarten, school, or home, and is of much value in teaching both form and color.
