Bills Ball Bearing Burr (Wood CD 2019 Edition)
Bill's Ball bearing burr is one of my all-time favorite interlocking puzzles. The normal six-piece assembly is further complicated by the addition of two stainless ball bearings which must be placed in the correct location before assembly. The bearings are then released once the puzzle is assembled, and the solver must figure out how to maneuver them in order to disassemble the puzzle. A very unique concept and a must-have for your collection!Fit and finish is excellent with this puzzle, which w...

Glass packing puzzle lot (6) - Toyo Glass
Set of "food" packing glass puzzles, all originals from Toyo Glass. I believe most if not all are designed by Nob Yoshigahara. The set includes Broad Beans, Plums, Peanuts, Pineapple (Pineapple Delight), Corn (A-Maize-ing), and Rice Crackers. For me, these puzzles ranged from relatively easy to tremendously difficult. I needed a couple hints (i.e. the correct position for a piece or two) for a few of these puzzles (corn and pineapple, especially!).Original boxes are included for all puz...

Kumikisaurus - Juno
Kumikisaurus, designed and made by JunoThis is a delightful 9-piece dinosaur-shaped puzzle. I found it fairly challenging, but I'm not too competent with burrs. Juno describes it as a level 10-13 puzzle that is "relatively easier compared to many of Juno's diabolic burr puzzles, yet still challenging to solve."
