Description:
Each of these six flat pieces has a wooden base and a colored plastic top - the tops are six different colors. As stored in their transparent open case, they firm a hexagon. In this version of the model, the pieces are not hinged.
This appears to be Wheeler's model 6HF, which can be arranged either as a hexagon or as an equilateral triangle.
See Wheeler's list of dissections, under "Regular Hexagons" (1979.3002.43, folder 2).
