description from the Mr. Puzzle website:
Birthday Surprise
Released and sold out in the first week of July 2018. 30 puzzles made.
Original Price: AU$375 (AU$340 ex Australian Taxes)
I made 30 of this version of the puzzle. The puzzles are not numbered like a Limited Edition but now they’re sold I won’t be making them again.
The origins of the design were in another puzzle which I consider to be harder to solve. It has 3 bolts not 4 and I’ve just listed it on the website this week. 3 Wise Bolts.
The object of the puzzle is to open the box and discover your birthday surprise!
To do that you’ll have to take out all 4 of the bolts. All the tools you need to do that are in the puzzle. No external tools are required. So, you’ll need to make the best use of all of those tools to open the box. The first 3 bolts are just a bit tricky but it is the last one that when solved will give you a big ah ha!
Size: 75mm x 75mm x 75mm
The puzzle is made from Queensland Blackbean and Queensland Silver Ash stripes on the outside with Blackbutt centre. Brass bolts and stainless steel pins used.
My wife, Erin, died on 13 September.
Previously I was selling some of my collection to help pay her medical bills, because we had run out of money.
I am continuing the auctions now to cover medical bills, funeral expenses, and the cost of living on my own.
Please do not contact me with questions about other puzzles. I'm sorry, but I will not sell via PM. I need to do this in a simple, straightforward, and orderly fashion.
More details are here if you want.

I've been collecting puzzles for about 45 years. The collection is currently archived in plastic bins, out of sunlight, away from pets, in a humidity-stable room and in a non-smoking household.
Every item will be examined prior to listing, photographed from all sides (with a U.S. quarter for scale), and any flaws or damage will be noted. Additional photos will be uploaded on request, or emailed if the photo limit has been reached.
I will use USPS Priority Mail, insured for the full amount of the puzzle.
Buyer pays shipping, to be calculated after the sale. Please don't send payment until the total is updated with the shipping cost.
Payment is via PayPal only.
Thank you for looking, and good luck if you bid.
