Antique house-3D Jigsaw-cut
This little wooden house is about 4 inches tall, and the roof part appears to be one piece, while the bottom half is jigsaw-cut into 6 more pieces. The bottom is stamped with an oval stamp that says "Century Puzzles Inc." and "Glen (something) ILL." Hard to read; some of the letters are on the cuts. It looks old, but no estimate on the mfg. date.
