Description
This is the earlier of the two edge-matching puzzles that the Calumet Baking Powder Company used as an advertising premium, thought to be from the 1930's according to Jacques Haubrich's Compendium of Card Matching Puzzles. The puzzle pieces are in excellent condition. The envelope is tattered, but the advertising on both sides is intact.
