Interesting mechanism on this Karakuri Creation Group puzzle

Great Karakuri Creation group box. One move but clever and original.

Creative box from 2003. In great shape but for a tiny bit of warping to one panel which is hardly noticable and does not affect function. You can see in best in the second picture.

Very clever Karakuri Box - 4 moves to the first compartment. Few chips to the inlay on one edge but hardly noticable in person.

Contains a "High Five Wire" puzzle inside. Fellow puzzle blogger Neil told me it was extremely difficult to reassemble. I believe it, given that I was unable to disassemble it and the fact that High Five is not trivial to assemble outside of a bottle. The two photos are 1) photo of my actual puzzle, and 2) photo by William Strijbos which has High Five puzzles assembled and disassembled outside of the bottle to show puzzle detail.

From Eric's own wording :"One of my favorite activities is to have a big, stinky cigar after a long day in the shop...generally enjoyed at my local cigar bar, Havana Deluxe. I've been wanting to make a puzzle box that will hold a cigar for some time now. A while back I was talking to the owner about it and we decided that I would make not just one cigar box, but a series of them! Each box will named after one of the people working there. And thus was born the Havana's Puzzle Box se...

From Eric's own wording :"The second in the Havanas Box series is named the "Heather", after the one of the friendly part-timers behind the bar. It's a step up in difficulty from the first box...easy enough to get started but then a few moves in you hit a wall. The solution is fairly unique and I think it will be a lot of fun to discover. Tough to say much more about it without giving a lot away...all I can say is pay attention and the solution will match your observations. ...

Figure out how to remove the coin from the wood structure. (Coin was issued in 2012, honoring Acadia.) Solution included. This was my IPP32 exchange gift. It attracted more compliments (including purchase requests) than any of my prior exchange gifts.

Instructions included upon request. From the official description by Eric Fuller:Several years ago Robert Yarger and I threw around the idea of collaborating on a massive project. We both were interested in making a complex Apothecary style box with many drawers and a sequential discovery style solution. He threw out a crazy idea - why don't we get a bunch of other puzzlemakers to chip in, and have each drawer unique? Having been in the military I knew what that meant (massive disorganization) ...
