Ever Satisfying and Useful Nesting and Stacking Cubes, c. 1930s-40s, Set of Five Japanese zodiac Framed: 9 1/8” x 11I 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. I'd be inclined to set them that way and leave them alone, but they're great ones for stacking and using as pedestals for other things too, with plenty of wear but not much paint
