Great Old Color Cubes Set of 49 Blocks with Handmade Cigar Box Holder pewter walnut shells making a great paperweight forOne of the nicest set of color cubes I've had, including for the fact that someone pretty early on made them their own open faced box from cigar box pieces, perfect for displaying them on the table, and making them a great set to give as a gift if you've already got lots of your own. 49 cubes, in very good shape, with minor paint loss as pictured. Blocks measure about 1" cubed.
