Train locomotives both have "Educational Play Materials" decals (dt1) on the front windshields, and have what appear to be black and white pull strings (2 strands of black, 1 white), with unpainted balls. One string is broken, but complete.
Missing 1 piece, a 3" stick. The complete set of 90 pieces would consist of:
2 Engines
1 Caboose
32 Car Blocks
32 Pegs

Original box was thick, uncorrugated cardboard, with a thin blue paper cover. About half of the blue paper is missing, most of what is remaining is loose. There is a large rectangular label, with "EDUCATIONAL | PLAY MATERIALS | No. 443-S 90 Pieces | JERRY BLOCKS | HOLGATE BROTHERS COMPANY . KANE PA.", with a large printed wax seal that says "HOLGATE | SINCE 1789". This logo was filed with the Patent Office in 1933.
