Ever Satisfying and Useful Nesting and Stacking Cubes, c. 1930s-40s, Set of Five victorian paper doll I have seen twenty ofI am forever looking for these but it is a rare day that I turn up a good set and this is the first set I've ever had where the boxes are sized scaled to nest at graduated heights, so they make this terrific looking stepped rainbow pyramid when arranged one inside the next.
