I was at an estate sale a few years ago, I bought a very large wood bowl and these blocks. There was so much stuff there. Like huge pieces of furniture that would never fit in my house. I asked the girl where did all this stuff come from? She said her Aunt had lived in New York city on the Hudson, a very high end place to live in the 18oo's and early 19OO'S, and she took a truck down and brought a lot of it back here to sell. I like to think that my big bowl was used by the cooks and maids in the kitchen and the blocks were played with by rich little children.

These blocks are big, easy to stack up. I looked up houses on the Hudson in NY and wow!! Pretty nice..

Lovely blocks Nancy. We have some newer versions of those kinds of blocks. I can only imagine the memories those blocks have.

Nancy, these blocks are wonderful! They have such a nice old wood patina as well. You got a lucky find indeed!

What a great find. Love the blocks. Enjoy.
Put your hair up in a bun, drink some coffee and handle it.
