Summary
A set of 19th Century child's bricks. Originally 26 now only 21. The rectangular bricks have pictures on either side and are designed to be joined together in pairs to complete each picture and accompanying word which represents a letter. For example a picture of apples represents 'A'. By using both sides of the bricks they complete the alphabet. Badly affected by woodworm.
