Description

a 38-piece variation on William Altekruse's original puzzle patented in 1890, designed by Stewart Coffin and made by Interlocking Puzzles, who produced several of his designs.  this one is from 2001.


Stewart described this variation in The Puzzling World of Polyhedral Dissections (Ch.6):

buyer has the choice of shipping assembled or disassembled.



buyer pays shipping.


shipment will be by USPS Priority Mail, insured for the full sale price.


payment via PayPal only.

thank you for looking, and good luck if you bid.
