Description

Parcel Post

designer unknown
crafted by John Devost

production year: 2006
condition: as new
materials: Walnut, Padauk
description: Parcel Post is a vintage 18-piece packing puzzle of unknown origin dating to the early 20th century: the challenge is to pack specified rectangular blocks into a tray of interior dimensions 18x28x6 units. Bill Cutler performed a computer analysis in 1979 and found exactly four solutions, underscoring why the puzzle remains notoriously difficult. John Devost’s Walnut-and-Padauk edition features fully finished, high-gloss pieces and a large splined tray signed and dated 2006.

The item will be shipped from Budapest, Hungary. Shipping costs will be calculated after bidding has ended. Multiple items may be combined for shipping upon request. Accepted payment methods are (in order of preference): Wise, PayPal F+F, or direct bank transfer.
