Description
This is the gold coast parking meter designed by Brian young aka Mr puzzle for ipp 27 in 2007 only 200 was made according to the listing on Mr puzzle website.

Extract below is from his site

The object is to get the 10c inside the parking meter. Make sure you reassemble the parking meter with the 10c correctly inside. Getting money out of a parking meter is usually illegal so please don’t try to do that with this puzzle!

This puzzle is a representation in wood of one of the Duncan parking metres used on the Gold Coast from the 1960’s onwards.

The puzzle does not easily slot into one of the regular Hordern or Slocum categories so we have called it a Sequential-Discovery puzzle. Yes, it is a Take-Apart puzzle. It is also a Put-Together puzzle. There are a number of different challenges you will have to complete to do the puzzle. No external tools are necessary for disassembly or reassembly of the puzzle, although you will have to find tools within, and determine how to use them, to complete the puzzle.

You can reassemble the puzzle in reverse using all the tools the same as when you took it apart. But there is a way of using one of the tools in a slightly different way to create an easier assembly. The puzzle will still be able to be disassembled the original way. See if you can find it…

The puzzle made from Yellow Leichhardt. Stand made from Mackay Cedar. Yellow Leichhardt was used because of the distinctive bright yellow colour to try to match the golden colour that parking meters on the Gold Coast are painted.

Size: 160mm x 30mm x 80mm

Mittan by Juno
This is a wonderful and very clever (and cute) sequential discovery puzzle by the legendary Juno.  The description for the puzzle is below. Buyer pays shipping calculated after auction. Mittan is named after our beloved ginger cat. We built up stock level of Zebrano timber gradually and when it became enough to produce the puzzle, the project began. The code name for the puzzle was Ginger Cat, but after dressing the Zebrano timber, we realized that there would be some black cats,...

Angry Walter
Up for auction is an Excellent condition of Angry Walter! A little about the puzzle from DedWoodCraft website below!  Happy Bidding! Walter wasn't always angry. He was the world's best robot-friend, but time passed and the novelty wore off. He was left to rust in a junkyard alongside other abandoned robots.
