Metal backed, with 2 metal legs to allow the sign to stand freely, the sign is constructed of decorative, scallop-edged, hand-chipped glass with silver foil, reverse-painted embellishments.

In very nice, all-original condition with just a tiny scratch or rub here and there. Painted a nice green with cream colored rate chart. The copyright date at the lower left corner of front of the chart indicates a 1945 year of manufacture.

Framed in a sturdy hard wood, it is marked "MADE IN PORTUGAL".

The double-sided slate surface bears subtle surface scratching from use typical for a slate of this age. The curving vertical line seen in the first photo is the result of light reflection and is not an actual imperfection. The back side of the slate has been incised with vertical and horizontal lines for mathematical work.

This diminutive slate retains the rich patina of its 100+ years of age and can be displayed vertically or horizontally.

The smaller booklet with a graphic of a sweet faced girl with mixing bowl was published in 1925 by Church and Dwight Company of New York, and advertises Arm and Hammer Baking Soda.

The second, larger booklet called "Cake Secrets" was published by Igleheart Brothers of Evansville, Indiana in 1922, and advertises Swans Down Cake Flour.

The wooden box, now empty, was once filled with many 1 inch square wooden cubes, the purpose of which was to provide development of fine motor control in kindergartners through their play and manipulation. This box represents one of a series of "gifts" produced by J.L. Hammett designed for use in schools for the above stated purpose.

The box is in very good condition with subtle evidence of use and measures 4 inches in length, width and height.

The sign is silver foil, reverse-painted on decorative, hand-chipped glass that has been protectively backed in metal. A hanging hole on either side of the sign facilitate the ability to mount the sign on a wall or door.
