This 13 piece interlocking burr puzzle in the shape of an elephant has been made by Josef Pelikan since 1992. Hirokichi Yamanaka, the 3rd Master at Yamanaka Kumiki Works, designed and first made the elephant puzzle in 1931.Since then many versions have been made. This slightly modified version from the Pelikan Workshops is a very fine example of both the design and precision woodworking.The level of difficulty is kept to medium because some of the pieces take on the obvious form of an elephant....

This is the more complicated version of Cuckoo Nest (also listed by me) with 9 hexagonal bars rather than 6. This is a difficult puzzle with a single key piece. It is made from Birch and is unsigned.  The puzzle fits perfectly and is in excellent functional condition. Some interior parts of the pieces are a little lighter than the exterior pieces, though these are completely invisible once the puzzle is solved.This puzzle was only ever made in limited numbers by Stewart************************...

Six dissimilar pieces assemble into the Permuted Third Stellation. A Coffin design, described in PWBP but he never made any of these commercially. I believe, but am not 100% certain, that this one may have been made by Bertrand Portevin. It is one tricky puzzle. The fit is slightly loose however the puzzle assembles perfectly into both possible solutions.. I didn't intend to disassemble this one, until I took one step too far, looking for a signature. There are no markings I could detect hence m...

Edward Hordern IPP Puzzle Exchange - London, England.  August 2014Presented by Lambert Bright.   Designed by Junichi Yananose.  Made by Mr Puzzle. The 6 interlocked pieces of this burr reminded us of the counter-levered design of the famous Frank Lloyd Wright designed house in Pennsylvania called Fallingwater Water. The clear pieces add another element of difficulty because its difficult to get your bearings when doing the puzzle; its often difficult to see exactly which piece your working w...

Cluster Buster : Stewart Coffin Design 47I have been unable to absolutely confirm the maker but I believe it may be Coffin or an early Pelikan based on the size.  The fit is good, a little snug, but that benefits this puzzle as the main challenge is to take apart the six identically shaped pieces.  It has been made with six different hardwoods and, after photographing this one, I have reassembled it so that all woods align. There are some minor gaps apparent between pieces the pictures and lig...

Hello,I want to sell this interlocking puzzle. I don't know who designed this one unfortunately.This puzzle is neither Hexsticks (25-A) nor the original Hectix (25) by Stewart Coffin but close.The "original" had 9 pieces with two notches, and 3 pieces with three notches.25-A had 7 with two notches, 2 with one notch, and 3 with three notches.The main difference is that this version doesn't leave any "holes" (there are exactly 24 notches, one for each time pieces cross).The puzzle consists of diff...

From CD website-Daedalus by Gregory Benedetti is an utterly unique masterpiece of design. Brilliantly creative and brutally tricky, Daedalus hides its secrets well. The beautiful exterior gives no clue to the sheer pandemonium hiding inside. What appears to be a simple cube is an interlocking maze that continually changes its state with rotations, dead ends, and deception. Simple disassembly is a challenge; reassembly is genuinely an accomplishment.Shipping Cost  Will be worked out ...

Stewart Coffin designed this puzzle in 1990. It is made of ten identical pieces, one key and one augmented piece. Assembling and disassembling the puzzle requires shifting the pieces back and forth in order to insert or remove the next piece. Mr Coffin considers this puzzle to be difficult to solve, (assembly in particular). He considers the 12-Piece Separation one of his top favorite designs.

6 Board Burr # 1 by Junichi Yananose (Juno). This was made by LCC in mdf? It is very very tight. It moves by the moves are not smooth. Sometimes it gets somewhat stuck and it is hard to move.A little about myself and the puzzles. I am a solver / collector. I try to collect various types of puzzles from various designers / makers. I rotate new ones in to the collection and like to pass along puzzles to others. All the puzzles I sell are solved at least once by me. My home is smoke free and pet f...

From twobrassmonkeys.com:Thirteen notched bars slide and interlock to create a pleasing four pound mass of interwoven solid brass.   The puzzle comes disassembled in an aluminium presentation case.  Although the puzzle looks and feels intimidating, we carefully selected the design so that it can be assembled by the determined puzzler.

A series of three 3x3 cubic dissections which were originally offered as individual items but I feel they should be kept together as a group and are offered as such.  Read Eric's comments at https://cubicdissection.com/products/pin-cubes-interlocking-puzzle

A beautiful little 6-piece board burr needing 34 moves to free the first piece (no rotations).  Can be sent assembled or not, as you wish.

Item is in original condition. However, near one of the joints where a dowel was placed in for reinforcement there is some slight damage that is noticeable (see last photo).  This is the condition I received it in when purchased brand new & is purely cosmetic. This has been kept in a humidity controlled room at 50% RH. The puzzle solves as intended & the fit is perfect.  **Buyer to pay shipping cost, please wait until final updated invoice before submitting payment.Description from Wood Wonder...
