Two sides of each block feature black letters against red with words below; two sides with red letters against white; one side with images (black on white litho); and one side red numbers on white, running 0-9 then 1-10 in roman numerals. Pretty hard to find complete sets of these and they tend to be fairly preciously priced when one does. I find them really beautiful, and also love the challenge of searching all the sides for the letters one wants to use--as designed, there are multiples of some letters and just one of others, forcing one to be resourceful! As with color cubes, I believe everyone, young and old, needs at least one set of these. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9 3\/8\" x 11 1\/2\" box. Each block 2 1\/8\" square. Good antique condition with general wear consistent with age and handling--just as there should be. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"critical EYE Finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48866843197694,"sku":null,"price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/5022\/1382\/files\/IMG_5067_86f33a92-e69f-4ebb-a913-0357d4248f9f.png?v=1788473034","url":"https:\/\/www.criticaleyefinds.com\/products\/complete-c-1870s-set-of-hills-spelling-blocks-in-lower-half-wood-frame-box-1","provider":"critical EYE Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
