Description

A vintage puzzle from the 1980s by American sculptor, architect, and designer Charles Perry. The website says these puzzles were made in 1987 but the card has copyright: 1983 on it.

Goal: Remove the 5 brass pieces and put them back inside the Delrin base.
Size:  Diameter 60mm x height 28mm
Materials: Brass pieces and Delrin base.

Condition:  I took the puzzle to the shed and polished the flat exposed surfaces of the brass pieces so they are shiny for display. But I did not buff the cylinders inside the puzzle, rather leaving the original patina.
The puzzle comes with it’s original velvet bag with the original card with the solution on the back attached.  The card is a bit discoloured with age; you can view in the photo.

General Information:

This is Brian Young from Mr Puzzle in Australia selling some doubles as a result of merging Ray Mead’s collection into my own existing collection.
