3D Apple puzzles (2), jigsaw cut
This is for two jigsaw-cut 3D apple-shaped puzzles. Neither one has the original packaging. One is plastic with a metal stem, and consists of about 12 or 13 layers that overlap. The other is wooden with a little leather stem - a rather loose fit for a jigsaw cut puzzle.

Unknown - Tiles on pegs - Christopher Dilly
This puzzle requires you to place a number of tiles with holes drilled in them onto a grid of pegs that fit in the holes. I doubt that many of these exist; it looks very labor-intensive to make, what with little wooden pegs mounted in the plywood backboard. A stamp on the back of the puzzle says; Christopher J. Dilly, Ontario NOC 1HO (Canada), and it even has his phone number. Looks nice. No packaging (zip-lock baggie) and no instruction sheet, not that you need one. Tiles are solid wood of some...

On the Level Puzzler, Magnif
On The Level Puzzler from Magnif, trademark 1989 in Ohio. This is like-new, in the original box with the original internal packaging. The box has a couple of tiny dings and very light edgewear, but not really any worse than you'd expect to see in the store. Complete (of course).

Spear's Multipuzzle
This is a plastic tray-puzzle with 42 pieces (all there) plus a little tray in which to solve the puzzles. There's a booklet of 48 puzzles included. The pieces are all various -ominoes of various sizes. There's some mild wear on the box and booklet, and a small tear on the top cover of the box. I'm guessing this came out in the 1960's or 1970's, made by Spear's in England. Instruction book has both French and English instructions.

ELLA
This puzzle was designed by Claus Bakenecker of Germany for the birth of his daughter, Ella. The combined E-A piece can be rotated. The puzzle is to put the two L-shaped pieces flat in the tray, which is easily done once the E-A piece is in the correct orientation. Good luck with that!

Link Puzzle - plastic
"Link Puzzle" Picked this up in England about 10 years ago; consists of a bunch of double-balls hinged together with little plastic frames. The cube (4x4x4) flops out into a big loop which you have to fold back together into a cube. Not super difficult. It also doubles as a toy, since you can obviously fold it into other shapes and snap the pieces apart. Includes the original instruction sheet for returning it to a cube shape. Made in China, and I don't know who the manufacturer was, except th...

Dice Puzzle
Wooden "Dice Puzzle". Consists of 9 straight sticks with dots on the sides. In original plastic wrap, object is to put the 9 sticks together so that the dice-pips add up to seven on opposite sides, as it is with a normal die. There's a little paper insert that says, "The Wood Shop" Rock-A-Nore Road, Hastings. Plastic wrap is brittle; puzzle is, I estimate, 20-30 years old.

Gradual Despair, Crazy Mind Game, and IQ Test puzzles
Four cardboard puzzles. "The Crazy Mind Game" asks you to make a cotinuous red chain of the 17 inclosed tiles. Apparently the black paths are only relevant if you go buy the related "Mind Game" game. Complete. Very good condition but for a price tag on the back.
IQ Test numbers 5 and 7; two of the many, many puzzles asking you to put 9 tiles together so that the edges match. No. 7 is very good, but on number 5 the box is slightly crushed on one side.
