This set is very old. There are 81 blocks in this set, and it appears to be complete. The blocks are 1", and width varies according to what is on block. They are approx 1" tall also. Set includes Complete set of uppercase Alphabet and complete set of lowercase Alphabet. Numbers 1-0. Also included are a dot, comma, apostrophe, exclamation mark, question mark, Dollar sign, small dash, ampersand, cent sign, 1/2, plus sign, times sign, equal sign, the word And, the word For, long dash, division sign, percent sign, and a hand with a pointing finger. Box measures 16 1/4" x 7" x 1 3/24 There are a couple of metal pieces in the box, not sure what they are for. I have taken lots of pictures of the outside and inside of box. Lots of ink and wear on the box. There is an old ink smell when you open the box. But overall very sturdy and blocks are in very good used condition. The letters stick out nicely so you will not get spots of the back stamp on your paper. Box has box jointed corners and rusty old hinges. There is wear to the corners and things have been set on the top... What a classic piece of history.... THIS WOULD ALSO BE GREAT FOR SCRAPBOOKING OR ALTERED ART Please ask questions, I will try to answer. I have taken lots of pictures so you can see the condition of this piece.
