This is an interesting puzzle. The object is to extract the ball by navigating a hidden internal 3D maze. This puzzle is a discontinued Orb Factory item.
Designer by Mike Snyder and entered into the IPP17 Design Competition this puzzle was made in very limited quantities and is rare so you won't see these sold very often.It is a maze with a twist! Place the ball in one side and escape from the other side - tough but enjoyable.The maze is made from heavy cast aluminum. The diameter of the maze is 3.5" across. The maze has a couple of scratches and light wear as shown in the pictures. The movement is completely smooth.
This bank was made in Japan, right after World War ll, during the occupation, around 1948. It is a further manifestation of a mid to early 19th century tradition of hiding documents and money in boxes with "tricks" and a multiplicity of "moves" to unlock a box or trunk.Stamped Tanaka patent 918Needs some glue on non moving sides
