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

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.

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.

Oskar's Paperclips
Oskar van Deventer is well known for designing some of the most interesting and creative puzzles available. His paperclips are no exception. With two possible solutions, the paperclips interlock to form a beautiful sculpture once solved. At 14 moves, finding the the solution to this work of art is no trivial task either. It is a very confusing and difficult puzzle to solve.Although beautiful, many of Oskar's designs are very difficult to realize in wood. That is why they are extremely scarce.Eac...
