Derek's Half Dozen
This was one of the royalty puzzles I received from Eric for letting him make this design.It is new in shrink-wrap. I was very lucky to have Eric make these - he did an awesome job,as he always does!His description:Despite the devilish difficulty of this puzzle, let me assure you that Derek is a really nice guy. Keep that in mind as you go crazy trying to solve his latest creation. Derek's half dozen is fiendishly difficult at a level 26.9.5 solution. It's so hard to solve I took pity and made ...

DESIGNER:
Sam Cornwell
CRAFTSMAN:
Eric Fuller
MATERIAL:
Peruvian Walnut / Zebrawood
COMMENTS:
Sam designed this excellent interlocking puzzle for the IPP design competition. Functionally it's a fairly easy 3x3 cube. The twist is the three brackets which wrap around the cube. Disassembly can be tricky, and assembly more so since there is only one solution and one order in which to insert the brackets. A very fun and uni...

The Moving Puzzle, Bekins Van & Storage
Standard 9-piece wood sliding block puzzle. Advertising premium for Bekins Van & Storage Co. Though this is the same puzzle as the United Van Lines Moving Puzzle and credits the same inventor, Frederic Aaron, its date is much earlier: 1927 instead of 1941. Comes in original box that has no markings on the outside (plain red) but the instructions and diagram are inside the cover as usual.(Note - You can pay in dollars or euro, by PayPal or bank transfer, or by $ check in the U.S.)

Gilbert Puzzles
Large box of Gilbert disentanglement puzzles from 1940. Includes 21 metal puzzles plus 16-page heavily illustrated puzzle booklet. All spots on the large cardboard backer are used, but I can't tell if all the puzzles included are from the original set. There is an extra "2-nails" puzzle included, made of a much heavier metal. The tiny ring from the Spider Web puzzle is missing, but I can't be sure all other parts are there, so you're buying "as is."(Note - You can pay in dollars or euro, by PayP...

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.

T in Cube
This was a prototype that I made up to investigate the design...only made a few, one for my collection, one for the designer, and a couple which I'm selling here. I have no plans to produce this puzzle in the future. It is signed and dated.This burr is 11 pieces with a single level 2.3.1.2.1.2.1.1.2 solution. It's tricky but doable! Crafted from solid yellowheart with very nice tolerances, intentionally a little loose in this dry winter weather to ensure proper operation during the more humi...

Take apart - disentanglement puzzle from Lambert Bright. Pretty amazing amount of work and detail went into this puzzle. It comes very nicely packaged in a tin with graphics. Inside there is a leather pouch with an impossible braid you have to solve to access the actual puzzle inside, which is heavy bronze. VERY nice job. This item is from my personal collection.

Four Piece Burr Cube
From Eric Fuller's description:
This clever puzzle shows major design chops. Using four identical, simple pieces and a cage, Yamamoto created a level 9.2.5 beauty with only one solution. Definitely one of those "Why didn't I think of that?" situations; I am nevertheless privileged to make it, despite not being clever enough to think of it. Fun to solve, a nice half hour challenge for the serious puzzler. Maybe 5 minutes if your name is Oskar.
