Early Milton Bradley Froebel "Gift No. 1" Kindergarten Blocks Box (Box Only) backgammon like hand-shaped line drawings on

like hand-shaped line drawings on the wall

with some wear to the leather and plastic strips and I'd guess some loss of bristles

with "Good Evening My Dear" wonderfully scrawled down one side

to the jauntily cocked handle

Early Milton Bradley Froebel "Gift No. 1" Kindergarten Blocks Box (Box Only) backgammon like hand-shaped line drawings onThis is an early Milton Bradley Froebel Kindergarten "Gift No. 1" box just the box, but I love it for the history it holds, and thought it would make a good one for holding a big lot of pencils or crayons or whatever. The "Gift No. 1" I believe consisted of six knitted balls in rainbow colors without strings and six with strings attached, which served as an introduction to Froebels educational toys and were appropriate for children from 1 year,
