C. 1920s-40s Hand-painted, Double-sided Letter Blocks turned bone bodkins and great addition to aThese blocks were individually hand painted by someone pretty great at painting letters. Only a partial set, but double sided yellow on red on one side, white on red on the other, with double letters for VX and YZ.

They also feel very carnivalesque to me, and that excellent "O" alone sold me on them. Each
