Ringed Stick - Jean-Claude Constantin
Not sure what the actual name is; the puzzle has a sliding wooden "ring" that comes off if you discover the hidden mechanism (magnets are involved). I bought this in Essen, Germany, from Mr. Constantin. It's a little worn, but works just fine.

Bilz Obstacle, plastic maze-puzzle
This puzzle is still in the box, though the box is a little rough around the edges. The plastic maze-puzzle is perfect. This is one of those puzzles where you put a $20 bill inside, give it to a friend as a gift, and let them try to open it, rolling a marble around so that it finally hits the trip-release. Interesting opening mechanism.

Unknown - old wood dexterity marble puzzle - made in Japan
Four marbles that you have to roll into little indents in the wood, though other grooves in the base interfere with this effort (took me about 2 minutes); nothing too unique here, except that it's old. No name on it, just says "Made in Japan" on the back of the box. Estimate maybe around 1950 for the age. Top cover is plastic, not glass. Overall condition of the puzzle is very good.

Link Puzzle - plastic
"Link Puzzle" Picked this up in England about 10 years ago; consists of a bunch of double-balls hinged together with little plastic frames. The cube (4x4x4) flops out into a big loop which you have to fold back together into a cube. Not super difficult. It also doubles as a toy, since you can obviously fold it into other shapes and snap the pieces apart. Includes the original instruction sheet for returning it to a cube shape. Made in China, and I don't know who the manufacturer was, except th...

Dice Puzzle
Wooden "Dice Puzzle". Consists of 9 straight sticks with dots on the sides. In original plastic wrap, object is to put the 9 sticks together so that the dice-pips add up to seven on opposite sides, as it is with a normal die. There's a little paper insert that says, "The Wood Shop" Rock-A-Nore Road, Hastings. Plastic wrap is brittle; puzzle is, I estimate, 20-30 years old.

Four Dexterity Puzzles, Mfg. by Pussy, Germany
These three plastic puzzles (two are duplicates with different coloring) were from a series of 12 dexterity puzzles made by Pussy in Germany. One of the three has a picture of all 12 puzzles on the back of the puzzle, numbers 2501-2506 and 2224,26,27,29,30 and 2232. Judging by the gaps in the numbering, there may have been more. Anyway, this is only 2 of them (with 1 duplicate), numbers 2227 (2) "Point" and 2505 "Corner". Clear plastic on top is a bit scratched up, hard to see in the photo. The...

Two Piece Oddity (aka Cross Cage)
Only 2 pieces, or 1 piece in a cage. Two-Piece Oddity was the original name, renamed by Philos as the Cross Cage. This is the Philos version in the original package with instructions. Not a terribly difficult puzzle, satisfying to solve, interesting to see, and one that can be handed to beginners without fear that they will take vengeance on you at a later date. Takes 12 or 13 moves to get the center piece out. During design, I was trying to maximize the number of moves for a 2-piece puzzle of ...
