Description
12 Exchanges Puzzles from IPP21, held in Tokyo 23 years ago.  I have provided brief descriptions of each puzzle, BELOW, grouped by rows 1 - 4 in the photo.  I am DELIGHTED to answer more specific questions about any of the puzzles.  Note that all would be graded

(A) Collector
No cosmetic issues
(1) Perfect function

Some of the puzzles come with solutions.  For those that don't, I'm happy to email specific solutions from the IPP21 Booklet to the successful bidder. 

The combined weight of the puzzles is relatively heavy, just over 4 lbs (just under 2 kg).  I will ship to any US destination with insured flat rate priority mail for $18.40.  International shipping through International Priority Mail (less expensive first class international mail is not available at this weight) will cost around $85, depending on country.  I cannot always guarantee that overseas packages can be insured or tracked.  Please do not send any payment until the shipping method has been discussed.

PLEASE contact me with any questions about any of the puzzles in this listing.

Thank you for viewing my auction!
