Description
U.S. Marine Corps Anniversary Puzzle Box
From the description in a previous CDM listing: "This unique puzzle box was a commemorative gift to the 242nd division of the United States Marine Corps. It's nicely decorated with gold inlay on the top and a metal inlayed emblem on the front."
This is one of the largest boxes in my collection. When I first purchased it, I thought it was a cigar box but I'm not entirely sure that's its intended purpose. Regardless, it a very solid wood piece with some cool decorative elements and enough space to store a couple cigars. It is not a difficult challenge, although it did take me a few minutes to recall how to solve this thing again just now.
The puzzle is in excellent condition. There is some light wear from use but the decorative elements are clean and bright. The only thing I can notice is a thin scratch on one corner on box top (see photo).
The only time I've seen this puzzle sold previously is on CDM in March 2020 for $159. I've set the starting bid at 1/3 of that.
-----
Buyer is responsible for shipping which should be less than $10 (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 puzzle boxes, metal Bits & Pieces puzzles, 2D and 3D packing, and a couple of nice pieces from WoodWonders.
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.
