I find it super poignant

It seems that the American toy company Louis Marx & Co

did a series of drawings very late in life of floating forms composed double-profiles

Great for the kids

Early Celluloid Checkers in Original Box wooden pocket knife I find it super poignantJust a pretty, early set of celluloid checkers or draughts pieces to encourage putting those old checker boards to use!

And on the top of the box lid is the "Celluloid" trade mark. Cream colored pieces show a little age
