Three Pairs - Coffin - Pelikan 19A
Interlocking Three Pairs, designed by Stewart Coffin, made by Pelikan. This is listed in my notes as "Pelikan 19A", for whatever that means, and I'm not sure where that bit of info came from. The solution is interesting, though if you take it apart it will ruin it for you, so I recommend someone else disassemble it if you wish to give it a go. It has 6 pieces.There is a tiny stain on one end. Otherwise, the puzzle is very nice.

Crenal
Crenal, designed by Gregory Benedetti and made by Fuller. This is a unique 6-piece burr with diagonal intersections and unusual piece play. As Eric described it in the original listing (2016), "The peculiar back and forth gate movements are extraordinary." They are. The puzzle was "a little loose to account for dry conditions" when made, and it's still a little loose, but functions well. See link above to original listing.

JABS
JABS (Just Another Broken Soma), Presented in Moabi and Zircote by Wood Wonders. From their product description:"Well, Ken is at it again. If you liked Broken Soma, I think you'll enjoy
Jabs! Although, I think, Jabs is a bit easier than Broken Soma, that
may be a good thing. If as I did, you struggled with Broken Soma for
what seemed like far too long! Like the Broken Soma, Ken has split the
three voxel piece into six half cubes. Now it's up to you to find the
one solution to this clev...

Triple 3 - Osanori / Pelikan
https://www.pelikanpuzzles.eu/detail/triple-3/This is another wonderful packing puzzle from Osanori Yamamoto. Borrowing from Kevin Sadler:“The pieces of Triple 3 leave quite a bit of space inside with the
limitation of placement being provided by the large front hole and
single cubie hole diagonally opposite. This required a different
approach to me from the Triangle Ring 3 with placement of the specially
shaped piece first and working out how to add pieces around it. A much

https://www.pelikanpuzzles.eu/detail/triple-3/This is another wonderful packing puzzle from Osanori Yamamoto. Borrowing from Kevin Sadler:“My copy of Tulip 1 is made from a vibrant red Padauk and
contrasting Wenge. The name seems to allude to the shape of the opening
in the box. At first glance, it appears like a standard 2x2x2 shaped gap
but after a moment of play with the puzzle, it rapidly becomes clear
that the opening is severely restricted by a diagonal segment covering 2

"Aha Box" - Small Box Two
Small Box Two - "Aha Box" This design was Alan Boardman's IPP
exchange puzzle in 2004. He describes it as "Designed to lure your
non-puzzler friends into "our" world." It gives very few clues upon
handling...it seems to be solid, with no way to open it. A solution does
exist, and it's quite tricky to discover. Sturdy and pocket sized, a
great puzzle to share with friends and non-puzzlers. This little box
also has a surprisingly useful amount of space inside!
