A few weekends ago I went to the Old Summit Antique Show ~ since it seemed like eons had passed since I had gone to a show, I ended up buying quite a few things and also taking lots of photos. A friend of mine who is a dealer allowed me to take photos of the wonderful collection of block sets he was selling ~ these are all from his personal collection he has decided to part with. Just take a look, such beautiful and unique sets ~ some of which I had never seen before. I love the gorgeous graphics of the typography and the packaging ~ rarely do you see sets like this in such great condition. Which is your favorite?
{A gem of a set ~ these were rather small, the whole box was about 4" x 6"}

Beautiful! I love the box with the swan on it. And the round blocks. It's always fun to see old collections of things.
Thank you so much for sharing your lovely pictures. An inspiration for some future miniatures. I love the Hill's spelling books and the letters with childs.
