Symmetrical Cross
Hudson's 3D printed take on a cross puzzle. This puzzle looks like a Stribos one and uses that fact against you. To put it simply: Symmetric Cross is to Alu Cross what Revenge Lock is to Lunatic Lock. Thanks to some innovative mechanisms, it provides a fresh challenge for fans of the genre.

Sunflower
This puzzle was designed by Oskar van Deventer of The Netherlands. It is quintessential Oskar in that it is done in primary colors and is a maze. It comes close to being a perfect puzzle. Oskar had named it 'Sunflower' since it kind of looks like a sunflower. George Miller's addition was to add the sunflower seeds to make it even more sunflower-y in appearance. There are exactly 1000 white seeds if you care to count. This puzzle has the interesting aspect of having the sunflower lock with the su...

The object is to retrieve several items inside the puzzle, undo the lock, and then return everything to its original state. Very interesting mechanical design.The reason why this puzzle was titled "Pleasure and Pain" was because, in its original configuration, it was possible to get completely stuck. Solution included.

Popplock T12
It’s a sad day when a man has to sell his treasures.This is that beautiful and complicated lump of brass that has puzzlers fighting in the streets ( umm, not really) I’ve given it a light polish so it’s not quite as patinated, but if that’s your thing, just play for a while and it will change colour. Comes with laminated solution and it’s original box. The envelope that holds the solution has been wet in the past,so parts of that envelop have smudged printing. It’s no big deal, Eric ...

Jailbreak - Doug Haigh
Jailbreak by Doug Haigh, produced by Bits & PiecesDoug Haigh’s recreation, I believe from Hoffmann’s classic book. Object is to free the ball bearing. I’ve sold a few of these older, discontinued metal Bits and Pieces take apart or sequential discovery puzzles. Jailbreak is another one that I liked from this set. I enjoyed it more than "Beehive" but less than the "Cannon" or "Lighthouse" puzzles. It’s also a nice metal puzzle for display, and it was fun to experience this “c...

The brass is left unfinished, leaving it to slowly patinate and darken with use. Difficulty:...
