Description
Horse-and-a-half puzzle
James Dalgety's IPP Exchange at IPP 22 in Antwerp. A piece of puzzling history - this puzzle was later made available as the Hanayama Cast chain. This puzzle (a duplicate copy I own) has never been opened or played with.
The SPH was a little nervous about measuring this one. He knows all about the Dalgety/Hordern classification system and is a little concerned that some might see it as a "better" alternative to the SPH system of measurement. He's therefore not sure he should get overly excited about measuring any puzzle which has a link to other classification systems. He eventually relented and told me the puzzle weighs about 4 SPH and is harder than a gerbil with a flick knife.
The standardised puzzle Hamster is not included in this auction but is included for scale. A standardised hamster has a length of 160mm, height of 76mm, and weight of 64g.
I am selling these puzzles to raise funds for DCD. Hoping to make enough to attend, buy puzzles and drink beer. Mostly the latter two. I am starting everything at low prices, irrespective of market value, so please bid generously.
Postage will be at cost from the UK, if paying by paypal please add 4% to cover transaction fees.
I'll happily deliver this puzzle by hand to the winning bidder at either the next MPP or DCD if that works for you.
