Description

This auction is for the Bathyscaph (also known as Yin-Yang) caged burr puzzle, designed by Ivan Mrkvica and released by Pelikan in 2004. This is version 2 of the puzzle, with more moves required to free the first piece than the original release required. Materials are Robinia, Cherry, and Amaranth. 


Physical condition is very good with some minor scratches, fit is quite loose, but movement of pieces overall is very good.





My wife, Erin, died on 13 September.

Previously I was selling some of my collection to help pay her medical bills, because we had run out of money.

I am continuing the auctions now to cover medical bills, funeral expenses, and the cost of living on my own.


Please do not contact me with questions about other puzzles. I'm sorry, but I will not sell via PM. I need to do this in a simple, straightforward, and orderly fashion.


More details are here if you want.


⋮


I've been collecting puzzles for about 45 years. The collection is currently archived in plastic bins, out of sunlight, away from pets, in a humidity-stable room and in a non-smoking household.


Every item will be examined prior to listing, photographed from all sides (with a U.S. quarter for scale), and any flaws or damage will be noted. Additional photos will be uploaded on request, or emailed if the photo limit has been reached.


I will use USPS Priority Mail, insured for the full amount of the puzzle.


Buyer pays shipping, to be calculated after the sale. Please don't send payment until the total is updated with the shipping cost.


Payment is via PayPal only.


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

Stickman #13 - Chopstick Box (~2012)
i suppose this is technically the third edition of this puzzle, made about five years after the originals, but according to Rob: Originally the first and second editions were only a few months apart back in 2007.  These days, since they were made in the same year and so long ago, I kind of lump them together into the same edition run.   The one in the picture is from the next generation, around 5 years later.  It is what I would say is from a 2nd edition run, because I l...
