I can't figure out anything this could be other than a branding iron

Almost all of the pieces present feature numbers on one side

I found these at Brimfield

And happily

Scarce, Much Loved (Stella- & Rothko-esque!) Set of Six Old Nesting / Stacking Boxes decorated wooden box ) Quite special feelingI'm always looking for these old wooden nesting stacking boxes, but only very rarely do I find them, and this is an even rarer, complete set of six, making for a whole rainbow. Very very much loved, with a lot of wear to the paint, lending a softness to the color of the bottoms and top rims especially, which I find quite beautiful. Great for arranging in all sorts of ways painterly and sculptural and very modernist. Red (largest): 5 7 8" x 5 3 8" x 5
