The Embossing Company Color Cubes Set of 36, c. 1930s backgammon box board It is about as make-doI can never keep old sets of Color Cubes like this in stock for very long, so I scoop them up whenever I find them. And no wonder, they are really one of the best things ever made! As is typically the case, the box on these, I believe dating to the 1930s, is pretty worn, but the blocks themselves are in great shape nice patina but very little paint loss; just perfect. 36 blocks. Box measures 7" x 7" x 1 1 4". Blocks approx 1" cubed. Lay them out on
