Description

I keep coming up with older and older puzzles and toys. And I know this IS the play to share them with puzzle lovers that will appreciate not only the classics but the attempts at toy makers trying to sell original ideas this is one of two this week I am sharing that knocked my socks off.

Both seem to have never been opened. Just amazing. Others online are pre-owned and played with... these are just beautiful.

Shipping determined at close of auction.

IPP 31 Hidekuni Tamura "Eight Segment Burr" (2011 Berlin) - Rare 4-in-1 Assembly

Up for auction is the Eight Segment Burr, designed and crafted by renowned Japanese puzzle master Hidekuni Tamura for the IPP 31 (International Puzzle Party) exchange in Berlin, 2011.

This is not your average burr. While it appears to be a standard interlocking "knot," it consists of eight unique segments rat...
