Description
This is a 14-Piece checkerboard puzzle, likely from the 1930's, produced by the D&S Novelty Company of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.  The pieces are to be punched out of a sturdy cardboard folder, and each square is 7/16 x 7/16 inches (10 x 10 mm).  The puzzles are intact and in NEAR MINT condition.  THE WINNING BIDDER WILL RECEIVE TWO COPIES OF THE PUZZLE --- one to keep intact for collecting purposes, and one with which to play.  Both puzzles come with their original glassine envelopes!  Because one of the glassine envelopes is damaged (see second puzzle shown in third photo; the puzzle itself is in mint condition!), the starting price for the pair is only $13.  The puzzle has 84 solutions.  I will send a sealed copy of 12 of the solutions to the winning bidder.

I will ship within the US as a ground advantage (first class) package for around $6.00, or at insured priority mail pricing from between $9.45 and $10.40, depending on postal code. I am happy to ship internationally at cost, but I cannot always guarantee that overseas packages can be insured or tracked.

Thank you for viewing my auction!

SAN DIEGO — IPP38 Exchange Puzzle (San Diego, CA, 2018) by Henry Strout
SAN DIEGO is an exemplary example from perennial IPP Puzzle Exchange participant Henry Strout's series of train car-themed packing puzzles.  Henry's craftsmanship improves with each passing IPP Exchange!  SAN DIEGO is very nicely crafted and beautifully laser-engraved.  The goal of the puzzle, of course, is to pack the eight interlocking pieces — in the shapes of the letters S-A-N-D-I-E-G-O — into the body of the train car and then to fit the roof of the train car (whi...
