Description
I am selling a copy of Gold Coast Parking Meter Puzzle.  I have played with this one to solve it.  It has been kept in a smoke free home and is in great condition.  If you need more pictures, please let me know.  


A note about shipping.  I will ship all over the world.  For U.S. buyers, I am military overseas and will ship via USPS.  All others, I live in Italy and can ship through alternative means that are good for you.  

From Mr. Puzzle site:

"Edward Hordern IPP27 Puzzle Exchange – Gold Coast, Australia. August 2007.  200 made.
Presented by Brian Young.  Made by Mr Puzzle Australia. Designed by Brian Young.

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."
