or a beard

Or perhaps it was used for storing tobacco

and imagine that he referred to it quite a lot

Interpretation: Don’t think all has been written

I found this one along with the sights of Rockland Maine drawing just listed--both done one pre-printed pages from some sort of booklet of art lessons

Early US Embossing Co. Alphabet and Animal Blocks nude bookends or a beardA great, well used, early set of blocks, early 20th c. and made by the US Embossing Company I believe with letters (on four sides, in two different styles) and animals on the two others. I of course believe one can never have too many sets of blocks, and alphabet blocks especially in order to be able to spell out all sorts of messages! 1 13 16 cubed. Well worn as evident, but in my opinion all the better for it.
