This is a 12-Piece checkerboard puzzle from England, likely from the 1030's-1940's, produced by Frederick Warne & Co. in London.  The pieces are made from sturdy wood covered in paper, and each square is 1 x 1 inches.  The pieces are in excellent condition, and are slightly miscut.  The box is in nice condition other than minor adhesion marks from where a previous owner used tape.  The puzzle has only ONE solution.  I will send a sealed copy of the solution to the winning bidder.

The Famous Banzee Island Checkerboard Puzzle is one of the more prolific designs listed in Jacques Haubrich's "A Century of Checkerboard Puzzles."  However, this particular advertiser, Lyle. D. Ewing Realty, is not among the thirteen envelopes listed, and is thus new to the puzzle world!  The puzzle dates from the 1940's or 1950's.  Each square is 1/2 x 1/2 inch; the puzzle consists of 12 thin cardboard pieces, and has 11 solutions.  The winning bidder will receive an UNOPENED (sealed envelo...

This is the first of two politics-oriented vanish puzzles produced by the now defunct www.faerietalebooks.com.  When the inner disk is rotated counterclockwise, one of the little George W. Bushes vanishes.  (Kind of after the fact, since George W. Bush had already won his second term as president of the US!  But apparently Hillary Clinton was fuming ever since the Bush family moved into HER house, which was previously occupied by Hillary and former president Bill Clinton.)  The puzzle is in ...

This is the second of two politics-oriented vanish puzzles produced by the now defunct www.faerietalebooks.com.  When the inner disk is rotated clockwise, Osama bin Laden is beheaded; his body disappears, and Hillary Clinton is holding his head.  The puzzle is in mint condition, in its original plastic bag sleeve.

This is a 14-Piece checkerboard puzzle, likely from the 1930's, produced by the D&S Novelty Company of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.  The pieces are to be punched out of a sturdy cardboard folder, and each square is 7/16 x 7/16 inches (10 x 10 mm).  The puzzles are intact and in NEAR MINT condition.  THE WINNING BIDDER WILL RECEIVE TWO COPIES OF THE PUZZLE --- one to keep intact for collecting purposes, and one with which to play.  Both puzzles come with their original glassine envelopes!  The ...

From CD website-Daedalus by Gregory Benedetti is an utterly unique masterpiece of design. Brilliantly creative and brutally tricky, Daedalus hides its secrets well. The beautiful exterior gives no clue to the sheer pandemonium hiding inside. What appears to be a simple cube is an interlocking maze that continually changes its state with rotations, dead ends, and deception. Simple disassembly is a challenge; reassembly is genuinely an accomplishment.Shipping Cost  Will be worked out ...

A little pestle can be inserted through a hole in the top. Inside is a ball, larger than the hole. Get the ball out. Described in Hoffmann's 'Puzzles Old and New’ Ch. II Nr.I (1893). This author helped preserving the memory of some mechanical puzzles of the Victorian Era, the majority of which are turnings from boxwood that fall in the take-apart category. John Berkeley's reproductions are all museum-quality works from rare and expensive exotic hardwoods. This one is a unique custom made copy...

From woodwonders.com:So here is another of Laszlo's great packing puzzles. This just seems too easy! Large triangular openings on both sides of the box should make this one a quick solve right? Wrong! If you like packing puzzles, you should give this a try. It is also a great puzzle to hand to a novice puzzler. By looking at it they will be confident they can solve it quickly. Then you can enjoy watching their frustration grow as they fight to find a solution.

This second release of Lift Box incorporates a couple of design improvements over the last version. Customer reviews of the previous release describe the box well:"Removing the lid of the Lift Box is easy, but this does not allow access the inside of the box and here the actual solve starts. The box has an unusual mechanism, and first time I have seen one like that. There are some carefully hidden hints in the design that give you a rough idea what may be required, but actually finding the moves...

From the beardswoodshop website:EL CAPITAN is inspired by captain America with a super human theme. There are 9 steps to complete the solve. The objective is to open the box completely and reveal the inside. Woods used are walnut, padauk, maple, and a variety of different trim. (Each box will have random different trim around the edges). The shield will be the same on each box with the dome look.I believe the trim on this box is figured maple. I'm not certain, however.PLEASE NOTE: I over did it ...
