Half Hour puzzle - Stewart Coffin/Eric Fuller
From Eric Fuller's description: The half hour puzzle is a Stewart Coffin classic, and if you don't have a copy in your collection you really should.

Starburst - Constantin
Starburst, 3 interlocking pieces. I'm not sure whether I bought this from B&P (07-G7735) or Constantin; I bought a lot from him while at the Essen game convention. The old B&P catalog doesn't show the red string around the end pins, so I'm not sure. No solution sheet or box. Weight is 11 oz with shipping box.

All Five
Wayne Daniel created this magical nesting of the five Platonic solids, a tour de force whose outer icosahedron contained a dodecahedron then a cube, none tetrahedra and four octahedra, all without empty spaces. It garnered attention in the New York Times of May 10, 2005: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C06E7DA1230F933A25756C0A9639C8B63 (Decades earlier, Dale Seymour had issued a cardboard model of the five nested Platonic solids, in a different order of nesting.)

H-Cube
One of the set of 25 made and sold by Eric Fuller in 2006. Here's the description from his Cubicdissection site:
"This is the next step up in Mr. Jolly's exploration of how to make an interlocking burr from a particular base shape consisting of an "L" and a "T" joined. While the easier iteration, the double bar cube, has six identical pieces, the H Cube has unique pieces with added units that make it considerably more difficult to solve. Additionally, disassembly is very confusing with ...
