Half Hour puzzle - Stewart Coffin/Eric Fuller
From Eric Fuller's description: The half hour puzzle is a Stewart Coffin classic, and if you don't have a copy in your collection you really should. Although this puzzle is fun and approachable by anyone, it's far from simple. The pieces were deliberately chosen to be as tricky as possible, and there is only one solution.

Missing Link, Philos Spiele ARt. 3517, design David Hirsch
Missing Link - designed by David Hirsch, made by Philos Spiele. Comes with instruction sheet, not shown in photo. You can actually make a pyramid with the eight pieces, too, and there are solutions which require color constraints listed on the solution sheet. The basic idea is to assemble the pieces such that the light/dark pattern on opposite sides is identical. Don't know why it's called "missing link", since that confuses it with the old plastic puzzle of the same name. Don't remember when I ...

Open Window
Open Window, exchange puzzle for IPP32, designed by Tom Jolly, mfg Tim and Carol Udall. Four sliding pieces in a frame (well...three after you pop out the key piece) with a slightly tricky solution. Harder to reassemble, especially if you didn't see it taken apart. There was another version of this with a closed back, but I only made 2 of them. This one, both sides are open. Weighs 10 oz with shipping box.

Bee Box - Jean Claude Constantin
Due to the unusual nature of this puzzle, I will ship it in its solved state. When I first purchased it, the seller tried to ship it in a locked state but it became unlocked during shipping; the same happened when I shipped it to someone else on a loan. For a spoiler, see: http://www.grand-illusions.com/toycollection/bee_box/
