Nice Old Holgate Rainbow Colored Stacking Toy c. 1930s-40s paddle shaped Late 19th century or so

see photos): a few of the knobs on the drawers are chipped (it appears they have been restrained since)

as is reflected in photos

I really like arranging the rings on these into different configurations to create a various tabletop sculptures
