This puzzle requires you to place a number of tiles with holes drilled in them onto a grid of pegs that fit in the holes. I doubt that many of these exist; it looks very labor-intensive to make, what with little wooden pegs mounted in the plywood backboard. A stamp on the back of the puzzle says; Christopher J.

Spear's Multipuzzle
This is a plastic tray-puzzle with 42 pieces (all there) plus a little tray in which to solve the puzzles. There's a booklet of 48 puzzles included. The pieces are all various -ominoes of various sizes. There's some mild wear on the box and booklet, and a small tear on the top cover of the box. I'm guessing this came out in the 1960's or 1970's, made by Spear's in England. Instruction book has both French and English instructions.

Quadlock 1
Jerry kindly gave me permission to make one for my private collection. Unfortunately I have to sell it, again with his permission.
This is a difficult to take apart puzzle consisting of 19 pieces. Although not as accurately made as by the master craftsman himself, the fit and feel is very good. (Can you pick a lock?)
It is made of purple heart and beech in my unique blockmode style enabling me to get a symmetrical pattern on the outside. This is a one off which will not be repeated ...
