Teak, Ju wood
Wonderful set of three vintage mid century Danish modern wooden toy viking figurines designed by Jacob Jensen for International Gift Corp, circa 1958. Constructed of modular, interchangeable parts, in an assortment of beautiful hardwoods (probably Teak, Birch, Ebony, and Maple). Some parts are loose and others are very firmly in place. I haven't disassembled them completely. In excellent vintage condition.
