Year | circa 1942-1943 | |
Description | Similar to Holgate #1942 "Anniversary Wagon Blocks" (colored), this wagon, as seen in the 1942 and 1943 catalogs, has the same design as the 1940-1941 wagons, but is not reverse-printed (the figures themselves are printed, not the background). Also, the axles are wooden, instead of steel. 34 of the original 42 blocks are present: 2 Doublongs (yellow) 7 Oblongs (red, 1 missing) 7 Squares (yellow, 3 missing) 4 Triangles (blue) 1 Column (yellow, 3 missing) 3 Pillars (red, 1 missing) 4 Panels (blue) 2 Double Panels (red) 2 Gothic Arches (blue) 2 Half Circles (red) Two spurious blocks are present: The first is an oblong, though smaller than an Anniversary Oblong, with bricks silkscreened on one side, and hand-drawn with pencil on the other. The second is a rough, thin, irregular-shaped pentagon. Note that this set is properly numbered "19/42W" (the wagon with plain blocks was "17/42W"). This numbering has been simplified in the title of this listing for technical reasons. The numbering was simplified to "1942" in 1948. |
