Sputnik in Cube designed by Marcel Gillen

This is an original puzzle made by Puzzle Makers international from Taiwan for Carlo Gitt to exchange at IPP19 in London in 1999.  The puzzle is in its original box with a small hint sheet and the puzzle inside is still wrapped in the original plastic cushion wrap. 

Goal: Remove the inner cube. 
The puzzle is made from machined steel and brass. 
Size:  50mm cube.

Condition: As originally given. I took the puzzle out of the box to photograph it only but it’s not been played. The box is a little browned with age but no dents or rips.

General Information:

This is Brian Young from Mr Puzzle in Australia selling some doubles as a result of merging Ray Mead’s collection into my own existing collection.  The puzzle has been in Ray’s collection since he exchanged with Carlo at IPP19.

The import duty or tariff rate may be different for every country so please check the rate that applies to your own country.
It is usual practice that import duties or tariffs are paid by the buyer at the point of import or delivery in your own country.

USA is the exception. The USA government has mandated that the tariff be paid to them from Australia before we can send the parcel. The tariff percentage may be different depending on where the puzzle was made. 

The country where the lock was made is Taiwan.  At this time the Tariff is 20% + Admin fee.
