Description

This smaller version of the unusual hollow cube made with glued-on numerals affixed to wafer-thin plastic plates somehow fused into a hollow cube follows the 1930 numeral scheme, unlike the other, larger, specimens in the collection. Comically, the '1' numeral on the '16' face is of a larger size than the other numerals, suggesting a very small-time production.
