Peg puzzle made in Argentina may be from the 1950s or '60s. Inside cover shows 2 puzzles, in Spanish: Estrella Oriental, and Retiro 31.

The Oriental Star puzzle (shown here only in the photo of the box cover) requires putting 9 pegs into the 10-hole base one at a time, counting 3 space...

This is a rare and hard to find 15 slide number puzzle done in solid brass, mounted on granite. Made by the Henley Company of Carftsmen Limited, in England.

We retailed them in NY with Berrocals and sold these puzzles for $300.00. I have restored this today by doing a nice job of machine buffing the brass to original luster (2 hours...

This is an old puzzle from Chad Valley in England. The object is to "build a bike" out of the little wire pieces enclosed. The fit isn't that great. I'm guessing this was made around 1950 or earlier. Instructions and box included, as shown. The puzzle is nickel-plated, which is why it still looks so shiny. The box isn't great looking; some ink-scribbles on front and back, and one of the internal flaps is torn off (but included).

This is an old puzzle which involves trying to remove two marbles from within a small pair of pants. The problem is that all the seams are sewn up and there appears to be no opening.
