There is a dealer in a group shop I frequent who has been unloading these old Milton Bradley Froebel blocks one box at a time

It also feels rather as if those stacked sides were made to create a sort of protective armor around the coins stored inside

Clay Red Bananas! schoolgirl map 7 1/2" t x 4I believe these red bananas are likely Central of South American in origin where red bananas are grown, and where as I understand it the juice of them is considered an aphrodesiac! These do have quite a sexy sort of fecundity about them, I'd say, and they seem to me to make a pretty fabulous tabletop sculpture or component of a dramatic centerpiece. I'd guess mid century or so, maybe a little earlier, and pretty excellent from every angle. 10" x 6 3
