Stewart Coffin's 7 Piece Third Stellation, number 73 in his list of designs. This copy is made of Blue Mahoe, a rare wood from Jamaica. Stewart made 5 in 1985. Design published in 2003. The first step involves coordinate motion of three pieces followed by serially interlocking the rest. Similar to Fancy This!, only extended. A neat and challenging puzzle. The fit and finish are very good. Puzzle has my signature on the internal piece. Buyers assume actual PayPal fees and Shipping cost...

This little book, Mathematical Puzzles (and other Brain Teasers) by Anthony Filipiak, is chock-full of nifty puzzles.

The book has no dust jacket, and has a moisture-stain on the first couple of pages (see photo). The...

This is actually one of the 2 copies that were entered in the IPP Design Competition 2008. Since Scott Peterson moved shortly after these puzzles were finished, the production of a small batch - as planned - had to be postponed. And when it will become available it will probably not be the way this one is, but rather in the shape of the first stellation. OK, that would make the puzzle a bit harder, but at the same time take away 'the history' of the puzzle as it is in fact something between ...

This was literally my copy of my design entry at IPP23 in 2003. This copy was put on display at the competition. It came back to me a little nicked up and a little bit looser, but all in all, it is still in pretty good shape. This copy is made of Bloodwood and Quilted Maple. I only made a few of this puzzle as there wasn't much demand for it. Made of six unique pieces, very similar to the Diagonal Cube. Assembled puzzle has the appearance of four intersecting hexagonal prisms. Puzzle h...

Stewart Coffin's Permutated Third Stellation, unnumbered in his list of designs, but this is just an oversight and would likely be #50-C. This copy is made of Honduras Rosewood. Stewart did not make any of this particular design. Design published in his PWPD book p 91. Slightly more confusing than the Permutated 2nd Stellation (also for sale in this auction by another seller) simply because the arms are a little longer and the pieces more irregular. Two solutions exist. The fit and finis...

Stewart Coffin's Lucky Star puzzle, number 111-A in his list of designs. This copy is made of Jatoba and Macassar Ebony. Stewart made about 6 in 1995. Made of six identical pieces. Requires coordinate motion to assemble. Functionally the same as Lost and Found, sold in the last auction, only the arms a bit longer giving the appearance of a Vega (#46). A neat and fairly rare Coffin design. The fit and finish are very good. Puzzle has my signature on the internal piece. Buyers assume a...
