It would make a perfect gift for the psychologist, psychiatrist or counselor in your life. Illustrated by Marguerite Davis, an amazing children's illustrator of the 1920's and 30's, there are two story boards with a number of blank squares where the testee would pick the correct picture to go into the empty spot. There are 58 of the smaller tiles (two are missing). The wood boards are backed with cotton muslin, making it easy to remove the little lithograph covered wood blocks. The set comes in the original finger jointed box with the original ribbon to help with taking out the story boards.

Measurements (when closed):

11 7/8" L x 11 5/16" W x 1 11'16" H
5.4 lbs

Condition:

Good antique condition with no peeling from adhered lithograph to wood pieces. Interior box and pieces appear clean with the exception of some soiling/dirt/smudges on back of one panel, which may or may not be removable, but is consistent with use and age. Some scratches present on top of box. Right clasp requires some effort to open and close. It may require some WD-40. Otherwise the box is in good working order. Top and sides of box have noticeable scratches. Normal wear for age. Please see all photos.

About this IQ Test and the Judge Baker Foundation:

The Kansas Historical Society has one of these and here is what they say about it: "This kit is an intelligence-measuring test developed by William Healy in 1917 and manufactured by the Stoelting Company in Chicago. It is designed to test cognitive abilities through non-verbal means. I.Q. tests became especially popular during World War I (1914-1918) when they were used to rapidly assess and classify large numbers of men."

Interestingly, the Judge Baker Foundation is still active, and is an affiliate of the Harvard Medical School. Here is a snippet of their history from their website:

"Harvey Humphrey Baker was appointed the first judge of the Boston Juvenile Court by Governor Curtis Guild in 1906. Judge Harvey Baker believed strongly that there was more to “juvenile delinquency” than just a “bad kid.” He wanted to create a place where research and treatment could help these children and their families.

Judge Harvey Baker’s lifelong friend, Judge Frederick P. Cabot turned his late friend’s dream into a reality. The “Judge Baker Foundation” was incorporated in 1917 and Judge Frederick P. Cabot served as the first president of the Board of Trustees. The first offices for the Foundation were established at 40 Court Street in Boston. Dr. William Healy and Dr. Augusta Bronner were brought from Chicago and appointed as co-directors of the new Judge Baker Foundation. The original focus of the Foundation was on diagnostic studies and treatment recommendations for “delinquent” boys and girls brought into the Boston Juvenile Court." less
