This box of vintage Creative Playthings letters arrived today. A complete set of 80 orange wooden letters: 2" high, 3 of each letter with an extra A and E, all in the original box. They were bought in 1977 for the seller's own daughter -- over 30 years old. I'm excited to use these with my son. *[Another interest of mine lately are vintage Brio trains.]
The color is amazing! What a great find!

These need to come back into production. For reals.
