More Turned and Painted Wooden Apples - Sold Individually classic wooden toys 14 1/4" x 10 1/8"Apple A and C sold. I've become pretty enamored of these turned and painted wooden apples made in Japan for the Western market which often housed roulette style horse racing games or miniature wooden tea sets, which these likely did, but are now empty.
