Houses and Factories, designed by Dick Hess
Produced by Bits and Pieces
Goal of this puzzle is to pack the two houses and three factories into the square frame. It's a nice looking metal puzzle and a fair challenge. The puzzle was an entry in the 2004 Design Competition and also an exchange gift at IPP24. A brief review can be found:

Puzzle will come with its original solution sheet.

Buyer is responsible for shipping which should be less than $10 for most small puzzles (within USA, first-class). Priority mail (and heavier puzzles) might be $2 to $5 more. I charge only exact shipping costs. Please contact me if you need an estimate for international shipping. If you wish to estimate shipping costs yourself, most of my listed puzzles shouldn't weigh more than 16 ounces (450 grams), and the smaller puzzles should be much less than that. I will combine multiple items for cheaper shipping--I have listed a few older wood and metal puzzles this time, mostly from Bits and Pieces.
I can accept payments via Paypal, Zelle, or Transferwise. There will be no additional packaging or handling fees.
I try to grade condition conservatively. If the puzzle shows any sign of wear from use, it'll be a B or lower. If the puzzle looks like it did when I received it new (barring any defects), it will be graded A. Where useful, I've tried to take photos of the puzzles under different lighting conditions. All puzzles are kept in a smoke-free home maintained at 45-55% humidity.
