MBP #3 Triple Dovetail Triangle by Robert Rose
Triple Dovetail Triangle is number 3 in Robert Rose's MBP (Mental Block Puzzle) series. Robert sold a bunch of his puzzles at IPP 23 in Chicago and, sadly, passed away before being able to attend another.This puzzle is in perfect condition with no fading of the vibrant turquoise and pink anodising. It is by no means a difficult puzzle and should be considered an impossible object rather than a tricky puzzle. It does make a brilliant fidget toy and displays beautifully!***************************...

Good luck!If you will win this auction you will receive an email from me asking for your preferred shipping method, i.e. cheapest/most expensive or tracked/untrac...
