Description

Cuckoo Nest by Stewart Coffin (STC #21) built by Coffin ca. 1977 with original puzzle sheet, from the collection of Dr. Benjamin Muckenhoupt. There are two solutions. 

A previous Cubic Dissection lister wrote:

"Stewart Coffin wrote in "Geometric Puzzle Design" that assembling a cluster of separate hexagonal sticks and dowels can be a puzzle but a more difficult and therefore more interesting puzzle will be made when some of the hexagonal sticks and dowels are joined to make elbow-shaped pieces. The more elbows the harder the puzzle. Stewart theorised that the maximum number of elbows that can be joined before assembly becomes impossible is half the number of each type of piece." 

Winning bidder will be invoiced for the total of the winning bid plus 4% handling fee  plus shipping fee after the auction closes.
