Tau, designed by Dr. Volker Latussek, made by Pelikan
From their website: “My new packing puzzle has a small Greek letter tau on the top and your task is to close the box. I have to thank Laszlo Molnar for the design of the box that he first used in his beautiful puzzle NO HOLES BARRED. My goal in designing my new packing puzzle was to use as few equal pairs of pieces as possible. TAU gets by with only four pieces to close the box. I think the solution contains the most beautiful movement of all my puzzles so far. I hope that the solution will surprise you as much as it surprised me when I discovered the movement.”
I found this to be much more challenging than No Holes Barred. Some really fun moves to discover in this one. The second photo shows (hopefully) why the puzzle is called Tau.
Comes in original box from Pelikan.

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. Typically, first-class international is under $18 for up to 8 ounces, and $25-28 for up to 16 ounces. I will combine multiple items for more cost-effective shipping--I have listed a few Bits & Pieces puzzle boxes, dexterity puzzles, and some wood and glass packing puzzles this time.
I can accept payments via Paypal, Zelle, or Transferwise (Wise). 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.
