Description
In his iconic and seminal book Puzzles Old and New, Professor Hoffmann described the "Four and Four Puzzle" (See third photo.), as one of several "Puzzles With Counters." The Brooke's Soap Monkey Puzzle is an advertising version of this puzzle from 1895 (!), used by the late great Edward Hordern (whom the IPP Puzzle Exchange is named after), in his generously illustrated update of Professor Hoffmann's book, as an iconic example of the "Four and Four Puzzle." (See fourth photo.)
My offering of The Brooke's Soap Monkey puzzle, advertising Brooke's Monkey Brand Soap for cleaning and scrubbing in the kitchen, is nearly 130 years old and in PRISTINE condition! The colors are vivid and brilliant, and the heavy paper / card stock on which it is printed (both front and back) is in terrific condition. This is an opportunity to own a museum quality Victorian era advertising puzzle!
I will mail the Brooke's Soap Monkey Puzzle within the US as a ground advantage (first class) package for around $6.00, or at insured
priority mail pricing for between $9.80 and $13.45 (depending on postal
code) if preferred. I am happy to ship
internationally at cost (roughly between $19 and $22, depending on country), but I cannot always guarantee that overseas
packages can be insured. Please do not send payment until postage cost
is determined.
