Description

EXTREMELY RARE Wil Strijbos Bolts!!!!

A selection of Wil Strijbos bolts, I believe from the early 90s.

Unfortunately I do not know the correct names for any of these bolts, I'm not even sure if they ever had official names(?). One could possibly be called 'Loop Bolt', or 'Bolt With Loop', I'm not sure.

There used to be an information page detailing bolt puzzles on the Haubrich Auction website, but it seems to have gone since Dr. Khuong An Nguyen took over maintenance of the site? If anyone is aware of an alternative compendium of bolt puzzle designs please let me know, I would be most grateful. I will update this listing if I discover any useful information.

I can confirm that none of these bolts are the same as any I have seen on Puzzle Paradise previously. For example, none of these 6 bolts look exactly the same as the 3 more common Strijbos bolts that have occasionally popped up on Puzzle Paradise in the past few years, i.e. ones like the 3 in this listing that sold in June 2023:

PLEASE NOTE: I should add that I am unable to confirm with absolute certainty that the bolt that has 'F 4.8' embossed on the head was made by Wil Strijbos, I think that it was, but I don't know for certain. The other 5 bolts are all definitely original Strijbos bolts.

If you have any questions about these bolts please feel free to contact me.

These puzzles are part of a large job lot of puzzles I am selling on behalf of a serious puzzle collector friend, so please see my other Puzzle Paradise adverts for some rare and interesting puzzles.

Please note: Payment by Paypal, bank transfer or Wise are all acceptable. Shipping fees and Paypal fees to be added after the end of the auction and to be covered by the buyer please. International purchasers from other countries are of course welcome, but final payment to be sent / received in GBP please. If paying by Paypal, a friends / family payment would also be fine by me if you want to save costs on the fees, I don't mind either way.
I can provide postage quotes upon request if you want an idea of the likely cost before bidding.
International customers please bear in mind you may have some customs charges to pay when the puzzle arrives in your country.
