The square cardboard object has 5 holes and a series of round disks inside, each showing a card suit, 10 - Ace, plus joker. Shake the card and then hold it so that the discs slide down into the opening and reveal a poker hand. Can be played by one or more. Wonderful gambling item!

This Stickman No. 6 Puzzlebox is crafted from oak, with bloodwood inlays and intricate wooden gears that actually make the clock hands turn. This puzzle is identical to the one that Jerry Slocum received at IPP for his retirement present. The puzzle requires manipulating its internal gears and levers until that the clock reaches midnight, after which two more unique moves are required to access its single hidden drawer. Figuring out how to manipulate these gears is half the fun. Once the ...

This Stickman No. 24 Puzzlebox is filled with personality and takes the classic style Kumiki puzzle to the next level. It is a must have for those who appreciate such puzzles. The puzzle must be partially solved to access the two hidden compartments in its base, but after that can be entirely take apart (even the base) into 26 pieces that are quite challenging to re-assemble. In all, it requires a minimum of 25 steps to fully solve. The puzzle is crafted from Mahogany, Paduk and Maple, me...

This Stickman No. 20 Puzzlebox is handcrafted from purpleheart, with intricate diamond shaped maple inlays. Its rocky cliff base is carved out from walnut, leopardwood and paduk. The unique aspect of this puzzle is that the decorative bricks on the corners of lighthouse tower also serve as screw-threads. As it rotates, this external disk will move up and down the tower shaft upon these threads. At certain positions, this thread action changes in mechanical output and will also cause s...

Like all versions, it has the intricate inlay of a tree on its top (picture). The puzzle requires a minimum of 55 moves and is of moderate difficulty to solve all 4 of its hidden compartments. The puzzle is in perfect working condition, (though some of its moves are just a hair on the tight side, and could possibly be even be tighter in exceptionally ...

The Stickman No. 11 Puzzlebox evokes the strategy of leverage. Each move on this puzzle manipulates levers that then allow future moves. This is a rather simple puzzle to solve. It only requires 7 moves to reach both of its hidden chambers, but it is a stunning puzzle to look at and fun to play with. These puzzles were limited to only 35 completed copies. I am unsure of the limited edition number of this particular puzzle, and if it came with an instruction book initially, then I can no ...

This Stickman Mahogany Chest is one of the very first projects to bear the Stickman logo. It is hand crafted entirely from mahogany, with a lid crafted of mosaic of pieces so strongly interlocked that it can easily support my weight. In fact the entire thing is very sturdy. This is not really a puzzle as much as a large hope chest, with sliding knick knak tray and lots of drawers and compartments (some of them secret). For nostalgia the original sales leaflet is still taped under the lid, an...

This Stickman No. 17 puzzle box is crafted from Bloodwood, Cocobolo, Yellowheart and Wenge.
