Description

A lovely set of spelling letters dating from the late 19th Century, originally used as a teaching aid for young children learning their alphabet and spelling. The letters are made of bone (cow/bovine) and there are 51 in total - a complete set of 26 plus another set, complete except for the A. The letters measure approximately 13/14mm high.

The whole set is in very good condition. There are no major damages to any of the tiles and just some minor discolouration and marks on a few pieces.

The set comes in a small wooden pot with a threaded lid. Probably not original to the set but they have certainly been kept in it for some time.

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions please ask. Nationwide delivery £5.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
