I am selling this Popplock T11 on behalf of a known puzzle collector, who wants to remain anonymous.Less than 100 locks of this type were manufactured by Rainer Popp. It is considered his opus magnum.Here is what the collector has to say about the T11 (the original German text can be found below):I probably don't need to say much more about the Popplock T11 from the year 2017. It is one of the largest, most beautiful and most sought after trick locks in our puzzle world. Majestically large and w...

T2 Popplock by Rainer Popp - you should know what this is. This lock is missing it's original packaging but comes complete with the usual manual/instructions.  To be honest I do not even know if Rainer was shipping his early locks in the same straw filled boxed. There are a few superficial marks  and a light patina on the puzzle which are visible upon close inspection, the photos and lighting make them more pronounced. They will disappear with a light polish/clean.   ************************...

This Stickman Mahogany Chest is one of the very first projects to bear the Stickman logo. It is hand crafted entirely from mahogany, with a lid crafted of mosaic of pieces so strongly interlocked that it can easily support my weight. In fact the entire thing is very sturdy. This is not really a puzzle as much as a large hope chest, with sliding knick knak tray and lots of drawers and compartments (some of them secret). For nostalgia the original sales leaflet is still taped under the lid, an...

#49 of 100This is a hefty aluminum puzzle with a very special lock.  No force, no banging, no centrifugal moves.  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.  Emergency key to get unstuck (which was purchased from...

Those who knew Laurie will understand how well these have been looked after.  The puzzles are being li...

The sweetest Popplock Rainer Popp has ever made. A small stainless steel lock with aluminium rivets. In principle, it only has one trick, but it's really hard to find! It weighs a cute 110 grams and is 5 cm high. It is in really good condition, it has never been played and has only a few, very small visible scratches. There is a very small mini-scratch on the edge next to the middle right rivet on the back.With the T6 comes the original manual from Rainer, which he also signed personally!The T6 ...

I am the first owner of this box and have taken excellent care of it. All of my boxes are kept in a closed display cabinet away from direct sunlight. Unfortunately I am unable to locate the instructions at this time but I will send them to the new owner if and when they are found. The puzzle works flawlessly and was opened only minutes before this listing.Designed by artist Robert Yarger, the Stickman No. 8 puzzle box internally makes use of a specialized "three-position mechanical toggle" s...

From Robert's original wording :"The Stickman Celestial Puzzlebox has stars on the top and crescent moons on the sides that lift in and out of the puzzle sides and must be manipulated properly in order to reach this box’s single hidden chamber."This one is #24 of #41 and has been listed for about 80% of original purchase price.It comes with original solution booklet.

This pains me to sell before attempting to solve.  Life events force me to pair down a bit.   Puzzle is unsolved and handled for roughly 2 minutes before put away on the unsolved shelf.  Could be listed as brand new, but I did handle it.  All packaging is intact. This is a HEAVY and finely crafted, a true work of art.  Number 64/100 made in this very limited production.   Goal is to free the jewel thief and retrieve the jewel from the vault.  Level 10 difficulty. 3% PayPal fee will be ...

The following description shamelessly copied from Eric;s original listing for this puzzle."The decorative maple and ebony inlays of the Stickman Illogical Puzzle Box (No. 19) are more than aesthetic; they contain a hidden cipher code. The four triangles included with the box are magnetig keys which, when placed in the proper location, unlock secret puzzle moves. A minimum of 13 moves are required to access the box's single compartment. However, with 180 possible tile combinations for...

This is a hard puzzle to part with for several reasons. Firstly, although I did not know him this was John Moores final exchange puzzle from 2014 and methinks he knew. He has pulled all the stops out and allowed Brian and Juno to go to town on one of the most exceptional Sequential Discovery puzzles I’ve owned. There really is a touch of genius in this thing.To solve properly there is one and only one way. Well done all.Winner pays any shipping and PayPal fees.

This Gordian Knot puzzlebox was never completed from its limited edition run.  Instead its many pieces rested in a storage box for several years.  These were set aside for mechanical issues, or because they required the re-cutting of missing parts in order to be finished.  At the time, Robert decided that they required so much attention that they were just not cost effective to complete.Robert agreed to let me (his apprentice) work on such puzzles when there is little else to do in the shop,...
