A very rare chance to pick up one of the first editions of this puzzle (#3!). It is unique design in that there are 16 little scenes that all tie together to the overall theme. There are lots of surprises and some great attention to detail in the design. It’s not as straightforward as it looks, that is all we will say. In addition to solving the puzzle, there are 3 fun challenges you need to solve, so lots of fun puzzling ahead!
There are even 3 small black colored pieces. We believe these were left over from when it was cut by mistake to indicate cut-outs, but you can be the judge. Hand painted as far as we can tell, we think all LEs from this era were.
Note: We only showed parts of the puzzle to keep it a surprise, if you’d like to see an image of the entire puzzle please contact us.
Very good condition for age. Just showing a little wear. There is some discoloration on a few pieces, which we have seen on older puzzles before and most likely due to the hand painting (see pics). 4 personal pieces (4 x names). 1 very minor repair on a personal piece, you can’t even tell unless you look very close. Tissue is a little worn as can be expected from a puzzle of this age.
Current price if bought new from Stave’s website: $5195 (This is for 450 pieces – about 75 pieces less than this copy.)
