PInk Cube Maze 5x5x5, 2 balls, enclosed

PInk Cube Maze 5x5x5, 2 balls, enclosed. Unknown maker and designer. This puzzle is a little unusual in that it appears the player needs to position the two balls to two different goals simultaneously (the goals are a star and a circle on opposite sides of one wall). So, it's tricky. Some light surface scratches. Postage to be calculated after the auction.

Hex Trivet - William Waite - Wayne Daniel

Hex Trivet, design by William Waite and made by Interlocking Puzzles/Wayne Daniel. Despite its appearance, the Hex Trivet is NOT a coordinate motion puzzle, but consists of 6 interlocking pieces made up of two layers. The puzzle fits together smoothly and accurately, and the finish is quite nice. I bought this in 2004, from Puzzlemist, I think. Shipping will be determined after the auction, so don't pay until it's added in.

Fireplug variant- Marcel Gillen

Fireplug variant, designed by Marcel Gillen, mfg by Bits & Pieces #07-7389, sold in their catalog as "Play With Fire". I bought this copy directly from Marcel back in 2010. He pointed out to me that the B&P version had a defect in it that allowed it to permanently bind up inside, becoming unsolvable. He bought a bunch of the Fireplugs from B&P and fixed the problem inside the puzzle, which is why I refer to it as a "variant". I did solve it, but that was 15 years ago. It could use a good polishi...
