Fireplug variant- Marcel Gillen

Fireplug variant, designed by Marcel Gillen, mfg by Bits & Pieces #07-7389, sold in their catalog as "Play With Fire". I bought this copy directly from Marcel back in 2010. He pointed out to me that the B&P version had a defect in it that allowed it to permanently bind up inside, becoming unsolvable. 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.
