Hello,

I have had this box of blocks in my possession for a while now, and I can hardly find any information about it. The box says CUBES 2040. My version is unfortunately damaged, the hinges are broken, and the person I bought it from put tape around it! It took me a few weeks to remove the tape, as the plate is made of paper, so it gets pulled by the tape. Unfortunately, the means of the box did not survive (this was already the case). Does anyone have more information about the year or something like that? And does anyone perhaps know the current value? I have also added it to the catalog.

Menno

I think they are wooden blocks when I look at the pictures like this. I think I also have 2 of these boxes in my collection. I always thought they were building blocks from Eastern Europe (Czechoslovakia?), Because of the cheap drawings and the wood of the box.

Now that I see more and more, I am convinced that it is no longer a hobby. Nice to collect as well and it will be added to my wish list.

I don't think the current value of those blocks boxes is very great. I sometimes come across them at sniffing markets for around 20 euros and of course at the Verzamelaarsbeurs in Utrecht for a very large multiple of this.

Your version will not yield much for collectors like me, because as you say yourself, the condition of the box is not that good anymore. It has to be a good whole and collectors pay more for it, but they always try to bargain.
