Stickman Magic Tile Lockbox
This Stickman Magic Tile Lock box is not really a puzzle, but rather more of a combination lock box. Even then, it is not much of a lock box. The 4 tiles that produce the combination happen to just have their order and direction stamped into their backs. However, replace them in any other direction or order and the unique internal mechanism will still lock the box up solid. Its mechanism was a pre-curser to the Illogical Puzzlebox much later.
Internally, it contains a sliding tray, one m...

Apparently Impossible Cube #1
from cubic dissection.com:This puzzle is my first non-rectilinear puzzle ever. The sliding action is very smooth and addicting; I found myself playing with it all the time. Assembly requires some dexterity, and disassembly is difficult to discover and sudden when you figure it out! A very fun puzzle, never before available and not likely to be available again. I'm selling these puzzles to fund future puzzle-making equipment, and of course to buy morepuzzles :)buyer is responsible for money trans...

Armadillo Case - Norman Sandfield/Kathleen Malcolmson
This is a miniature briefcase-style take-apart puzzle designed and manufactured by Kathleen Malcolmson and presented by Norman Sandfield in the most recent IPP. I know the picture shows IPP 31, but it was not presented then since Norman Sandfield was unable to attend IPP 31.

Clustered Anew
This is Scott Peterson's Clustered Anew. At first glance, this puzzle has the outward appearance of Stewart Coffin's familiar Cluster-Buster line of puzzles, but Scott has added a very cool twist. Woods used are Bird's Eye Maple and Kingwood. Overall, a nice addition to any collection. Puzzle has been played with only once and is in like new condition. Buyer to pay actual shipping charges.

4 Steps Visible Lock
The 4 Steps Visible Lock won the grand jury prize at the 31st IPP Puzzle Design Competition.To free the coin from the lock, you'll need to puzzle through four separate steps. Most of the lock mechanism is viewable throughout the entire solution process, but it nonetheless is a challenging (and clever) puzzle.

Diagonal Cube
Stewart Coffin's Diagonal Cube puzzle, 3D printed in plastic by Shapeways. Six pieces, all different, assemble into an interlocking cube with side 32mm or about 1.25 inches.

Three Piece Whatsit
This was my exchange puzzle at IPP31 in Berlin. The goal is to assemble the three pieces into a "symmetrical shape". This puzzle can be sent assembled or unassembled, your preference. Definitely more difficult unassembled, as you have to figure out what the final shape is.The second photo shows the actual puzzle for sale. The first one is the last one sold which is virtually identical.

New Edition First Box - William Strijbos
Here is William Strijbos' description of this puzzle:
I designed this puzzle around 1984 and it was my first puzzle box. At that time I produced only 6 of them (for Jerry Slocum – Nob. Yoshigahara – Dick Hess – Edward Hordern – James Dalgety). Now I have reproduced this design in an improved, metal version (previously it had been made of Formica or a similar material).
The challenge is: Try to get the Rod out. No Tapping required – No Magnets – No External Tools.

Snake Ball
To solve Snake Ball, the two donuts have to be pushed into each other. A spherical pin at one donut moves inside the grooves of the other and vice verse. All grooves are cut in a helical pattern around the donuts, so the two donuts always rotate simultaneously, which is very confusing. At some point, the puzzle feels almost solved, but the donuts cannot come apart. There, you have to make the parity-changing move and then you have to solve a second maze. Both mazes are completely different, and ...
