Primitive Toy Box with Wooden Blocks (c.1900s)

Love primitive antiques? Our old handmade wooden toy box holds over 100 natural wood toy building blocks of various sizes and shapes.

The box, which was rescued from a country barn sale, appears to have been handmade in a charming, primitive style and has been painted multiple times over the years. Existing layers of the chippy paint include red, black, green, etc.

Because of the age and construction of this item, do not recommend letting kids or babies play with this set (due to old paint, exposed nails, etc).

The entire set was purchased at a barn sale in Central Ohio and is dated to the early 1900s.
