Description

⟬ Smallbox Fortnight ⟭——30. traditional Japanese box: 4-step 1 sun (maker & date unknown)



general notes on the traditional boxes:

this, like the other traditional Japanese boxes in this fortnight, may have come from Mary & Mike at PuzzleBoxWorld, but beyond that possibility i have no information on it.


the last photo shows the box open, which i'm assuming is not too much of a spoiler for anyone here. i do this mainly for those who might be interested but don't want a duplicate of some mechanism already in their collection, but also for the purpose of any possible identification, because if there's a meaningful hanko stamped inside, the underside of the lid is where it'll be.




♫: 


—1. everything i have is in the photos.


—2. shipment is by USPS Priority Mail, insured for the full sale price and trackable.


—3. if the auction(s) in which you are the highest bidder have closed, and you are not bidding on other auctions, please let me know and i will organise the invoice. otherwise, shipping will be calculated after all auctions in this Fortnight are closed.


—4. payment is via PayPal only.


—5. all puzzles in my collection have been kept out of sunlight, in a humidity-stable room or sealed plastic container, away from pets unless they can solve them, and in a non-smoking household.


—6. the price for shipping+insurance will not exceed $30. if it costs more, i will pay the balance.


thank you for looking, and good luck if you bid.

Eric Fuller - Lift Box (2019)
⟬ Smallbox Fortnight ⟭——09. Eric Fuller - Lift Box (2019) from Eric's description: Lift Box embodies a concept I've had in my mind for a while. I've revisited it several times, but never finished the design because I always felt there was something more to be added. Taking the lid off Lift Box gets you nowhere; the inside of the box is further blocked by another panel. What next? The solution will surprise and delight you. I think this one will stump my fan...

⟬ Smallbox Fortnight ⟭——26. Osamu Kasho - Small Box: Gravity (2022) made from: walnut, wendge, mizuki (dogwood) from the KCG description: In the vastness of the land at night, a small white house is illuminated. The design of the top board is your hint to opening it. When the inner box is pushed in from the bottom, a spring inside will move. How and where will it open? And what does the title, ‘Gravity’, have to do with the box? This mechanis...
