Retro to Rare: Unmissable Online Furniture & Collectibles Auction
Lot 415:
A Collection of Vintage Mid-20th Century Children's Books and Puzzle, circa 1940s-1950s
Description
A collection of vintage children’s books and a puzzle, primarily constructed from paper and cardboard, presented within and beside a red plastic basket. The lot includes a prominent blue book labeled “PAINTING BOOK” with “ISLAND PRODUCTION” above, featuring an illustration of figures on a beach. Another blue box or book spine clearly reads “MADE IN ENGLAND.” A book in the basket shows a partial title, “MY STORY BOOK,” and a red-covered book displays the word “train” upside down. A central item, possibly a puzzle box or book, depicts anthropomorphic bears in a pastoral setting. Stylistically, the illustrations suggest a mid-20th century origin, consistent with the 1940s-1950s period.
