Description
A version of the classic Altekruse puzzle skewed in all three axis by 5 degrees.
I've not found a makers mark, but I was only brave enough to remove the first five or sixes pieces from this puzzle! I am assuming it is made by Coffin, as it was grouped with other Coffin puzzles, but it may not be. Either way, it is a fantastically complex piece of woodworking. The angles are baffling.
The fit is a little loose on this one, however,, there is no significant problem with the alignment and this is a design that probably benefits from being a little looser.
******************************
This is one of a number of rare/collectible/hard to find puzzles that I (Steve Nicholls) am selling on behalf of Ethel Brokenshire. Those who knew Laurie will understand how well these have been looked after. The puzzles are being listed with modest starting prices, please bid generously.
******************************
I will be happy to combine shipping if you win multiple items. The incremental shipping cost for second and subsequent items is only likely to be a couple of dollars or so.
