Knobbly Burr - Eric Fuller
Another early Eric Fuller work. This is harder to put together than to take apart. The puzzle has not been taken apart. The woods used were very high quality. All of these early Fuller puzzles were made with just one or two copies for trades that Eric and I did, and were not made for sale.Edit by marketplace admin: Designed by Dic Sonnenveld. Made with Chakte Viga and Holly.

Puzzle with NONAME. (i just dont know it) 4x4 Cube with metal bars
This puzzle, I got a long time ago, but was never brave enough to take apart. It is about 3" on a side, and consists ofwooden L pieces, and has metal bars that inhibit the position of the wooden blocks from being put together into the box.

6 Sun 54 Move Kisaya Puzzle Box - Mr. Okiyama
This is a very rare version of the very special boxes Mr. Okiyama made in the 6 sun 54 move size. Only 12 of these very rare boxes were made. A couple of the boxes I was able to obtain had minor problems with the Yosegi (in one or 2 of these boxes the Yosegi didn't line up on one end of the boxes near the Kannuki) I am not going to sell the box with this very minor problem. They all open like Mr. Okiyama's boxes and make the great "Pop" after each series of moves allows the various pieces to mov...
