Description
The Diagonal Star is a variation of the Diagonal Burr. All six pieces are identical. They are like the pieces in the Diagonal Burr, but with the ends beveled to an edge. The resulting shape is the first Stellation of a rhombic dodecahedron. It is assembled by making two subassemblies of three pieces each, and sliding them together. This design is very old -- nobody really knows who invented it. In Stewart Coffin's book Puzzling World of Polyhedral Dissections, he writes:
Someone, somewhere, perhaps in the mid-19th century, made the marvelous discovery that the ends of the Diagonal Burr sticks can be beveled to produce a puzzle that, when assembled, is the first Stellation of the rhombic dodecahedron. According to puzzle collector and historian Jerry Slocum, a puzzle of this sort was sold as early as 1875. The only patent on it that the author is aware of is Swiss Patent No.245,402 to Iffland in 1946.
