Crazy Mixed Up Contour Puzzle
This cardboard box contains a heavy wood put-together puzzle from the 1960s (could be '70s). 16 long, wavy strips of wood fit together to from a rectangular block 6" x 3" x 2". Half the pieces are red, half are white, and the puzzle is assembled so no sticks of the same color are next to one another and the ends look like a checkerboard.

Open Window, Tom Jolly / Tim Udall, IPP 2012 exchange
Open Window, design Tom Jolly, made by Tim and Carol Udall. Four pieces in a frame; take them out or put them in. Made of Sapele and Yellow Birch. Not a terribly hard puzzle, but has a satisfying solution. Harder to put together than take apart, so if you want it shipped disassembled, let me know.

Heart Puzzle, William Waite, 1998.
Not actually sure what he called this one...it's not listed on his site anymore, and I don't appear to have an instruction sheet for it. "William Waite" is laser-engraved on the inside of the tray. One of his many, many laser-cut tray puzzles.

KitchenFloor, William Waite, 1998.
Kitchen Floor puzzle from William Waite, 1998. I don't appear to have an instruction sheet for it. "William Waite" is laser-engraved on the inside of the tray. One of his many, many laser-cut tray puzzles. You're supposed to make a symmetric design with the holes; there are some notes about this on William's website. Despite there being LOTS of solutions, it's pretty difficult to assemble. I was happy to assemble it without symmetric holes. Puzzle weighs under 3 ounces.

One Block Box Puzzle - Simon Nightingale / Manvell
Also known as the One Piece Blockhead Puzzle. This two piece puzzle has a simple objective; put the white block in the lacewood box. Unfortunately, the main hidden mechanism in the box does not appear to reset correctly, so I've never been able to "unsolve" the puzzle. Perhaps you can. As it stands, the block easily drops into the box interior. Designed by Nightengale, made by Andy and Mary Manvell. On Feb. 10, 2013 13:25:24, the following description has been added:Based on the relatively high ...

TriangleQuorn (2006) and MixTeaser2 (2005) by William Waite
These are two teeny puzzles (about 2" each) from William Waite. The object of both is to make a symmetric configuration with the pieces in the tray. TriangleQuorn appears to no longer be on his website. The MixTeaser 2 is now called Miniature MixTeaser 2, but it's still 2" wide. Neither is particularly difficult.

Prototype of Bill's Game
This is a 1987 prototype of an unusual three-dimensional puzzle and/or game in which blocks have to be assembled in such a way that the black areas continue from one block to the next. It comes with a photocopy of typed rules -- but they are in Italian only, so I do not know how the game/puzzle plays exactly; there are 4 pages of illustrations plus 6 Polaroid pictures of the blocks assembled in various ways; from these photos, it appears that there are design elements to the game.Bill's Game was...

Zauberflote
Reminiscent of Padaung Rings, this nifty little pocket puzzle is a lot of fun to solve. With a level 14.4.2 it's tricky but not impossible...once you get the correct alignment and piece selection, it flows fairly quickly.Coming in at a diminuative 2.25" on the long axis, Zauberflote will nonetheless grab your attention on the puzzle shelf thanks to the acrylic catching the light. A fun puzzle.45 copies made, each signed.

Emerald Isle IPP29 exchange puzzle
Emerald Isle, exchange puzzle from IPP29, from Jim Kerley. I'm not certain who designed it; the instructions say "Jame K's Emerald Isle". So you take the one piece which has holes in it and peg it in a certain place on the map, then try to get the rest of the pieces in around it. The sheet that comes with it has 60 different starting configurations listed, most with multiple solutions, some with only 1 solution. Weight is 6 ounces.
