Description

Up for auction is a highly collectible mechanical puzzle, "Three Wedges," designed and handcrafted by the legendary Czech puzzle master Václav Obšivač (Vinco).   

​This specific edition was the official IPP 26 Exchange Puzzle presented by Patrick Major at the International Puzzle Party in Boston, August 2006. These puzzles were produced in limited quantities exclusively for event participants and are rarely seen on the open market.  

​Product Details:

​Designer/Maker: Václav Obšivač (Vinco)  

​Event: IPP 26 (Boston, 2006)  

​Type: Interlocking Cube (Coordinate Motion)  

​Difficulty: Level 9/10 ("Gruelling")

​Material: High-quality contrasting European hardwoods (includes a custom engraved beechwood display stand).  

​Condition: [Insert Condition: e.g., Excellent, like new, minor shelf wear]. The wood maintains its original wax finish and the engravings are crisp and legible.

​The Challenge:

The puzzle consists of 8 uniquely shaped pieces that must be disassembled and reassembled into a perfect cube. Vinco is famous for "coordinate motion" designs, where pieces must be moved simultaneously to unlock the mechanism. It is a beautiful display piece and a true "brain-burner" for any collector.  

​Shipping: Will be packed with extreme care to ensure the wooden pieces do not shift during transit.

Shipping determined at close of auction.
