Well Worn Bunch of Old Color Cubes, No Box Japanese postcard as labelled in the photosI believe one can never have enough of these old Color Cubes, and an abundance of them together always feels very luxurious to me! This lot of 60 of them has been much enjoyed over the past 80 or so years I'd think, softening the edges and the color in a way I really like. I believe these blocks are from at least two different sets, thown together, with the paint loss and wear on some a little more than on others but all definitely much loved. Blocks
