Two disentanglement puzzles, the big one is a Bits and Pieces 07-7241 Dutch String Puzzle (also called "Invincible Rings" in one of their catalogs, 07-K7241) with box and solution sheet, the little one I don't know where I got it from. Not very difficult.

HexyHex folding toy
HexyHex is a wire frame that flexes somewhat like a flexigon, making a few interesting shapes but not really a puzzle in any sense at all. It has an original price tag for L1.95. I'm guessing it's from the 1960's or thereabouts.

Animal Pentominos
This set of animal pentominoes came from the Belgium school-group at KSO Glorieux Ronse that does the contests all the time. It's cut by a jigsaw, but not a jigsaw-cut puzzle! It's rather large; 10x16 and about 3/4" thick, and nearly 2 lbs, so very expensive to ship overseas! The wood is 5-ply.
