This is an amazing HUGE par puzzle in top condition, we rarely see ones in this great of shape, especially one of this age. From our research it looks like this image was issued as both a generic map and also as an advertisement for an airline called BOAC (UK’s state owned airline at the time). Given the dropouts around the title and the fact Par was known to use a lot of travel posters it was most likely the BOAC version. It appears to date from the late 50’s to early 60s. The puzzle itself was divided into 2 boxes with the bottom portion labeled as Act 1 and the top as Act 2 (you can see in the pictures where the cut line was midway through the puzzle). If you really want to make this a challenge we suggest mixing both boxes before starting! It’s a great way to learn all about all sorts of British history and important places. A really amazing piece of art!

In top condition. Only very minor issue we noticed is one small knob was a little loose and that was repaired. The boxes themselves were taped with a little scotch tape on each side. Has 2 personal pieces (initials). (Note: When we counted the pieces it was about 50 pcs higher than what the boxes said.)

How We Rate the Condition of Puzzles

We do our best to describe the condition of the puzzles. It is a little challenging as everyone has their own standards. We suggest you rely on the closeup photos and feel free to ask questions if you have any. That being said, generally this is what our various ratings mean:

Excellent – These puzzles are in top condition for a pre-owned puzzle that has been assembled before. There might be a very slight amount of wear on a small number of pieces, but otherwise in great shape.

Very Good – Puzzles in this category have probably only been done a few times and show almost no signs of wear. Maybe a small number of pieces that stand out as having a little uplifting or other issues.

Good – Puzzle has been done a few times and there may be a number of pieces showing wear on their edges. The wood is in good structural condition, it’s mostly cosmetic issues with the paper layer being worn.

Fair – Starting to see some problems with the puzzles. Worn pieces, possibly a chip or two, that sort of thing. Read the description and look at the pictures to see exact issues. This also may include puzzles that are missing a piece, but otherwise in good condition.

Poor – In need of major restoration, may be missing pieces, lots of chipped pieces or major condition issues to the paper layer.

We do take into consideration the condition of the boxes, but most will have at least a tiny amount of wear since when they are shipped the corners can get worn down. Anything significant will be noted in the description.
