Description
Description from cubicdissection.com
"Brass Cannon" is a long-time favorite of both veteran and new collectors. The goal of this Sequential Discovery puzzle is to remove the cannonball. Solving the puzzle requires the discovery and use of tools. While not overly complex, the solution is clever and entertaining.
Based on a wooden version called Cannon and Ball puzzle made from wood circa 1881-1884 that was published in Hoffmann's Puzzles Old and New by Professor Hoffmann in 1893. This puzzle has the exact mechanism as the Bits & Pieces reproduction done in the 1990s.
Previously sold versions made by Enigma were more cheaply made. Due to the design's popularity, Mr. Puzzle in Australia decided to commission this version. The cannon's muzzle is made from solid turned brass rather than plated cast zinc alloy. The red cannon base is made from a cast alloy metal. When incorrectly assembled, elements of the solution can be given away. Mr. Puzzle opened each copy to ensure the puzzling feature was set correctly.
