Description

Snuff Box puzzle. Inlay missing on one side. End plate is chipped and broken on one end. Puzzle is barely functional and required excessive force to move end plate. I've managed to open it a couple of times, but I wouldn't recommend it. Estimate about 100+ yrs old. There are some letters scratched into the inside cover, looks like "298 rojo", best I can make out.

US Postage is $6.55, international postage is $20.60. Postage will be combined if you win more than 1 auction.

Designed by Steve Winter, printed by Shapeways before it went bankrupt. I believe I bought this in 2016. Cool little maze.Postage to be calculated after the auction.

He bought a bunch of the Fireplugs from B&P and fixed the problem inside the puzzle, which is why I refer to it as a "variant". I did solve it, but that was 15 years ago. It could use a good polishi...
