⟬ Smallbox Fortnight ⟭——31. traditional Japanese box: 4-step 1.5 sun koyosegi (maker & date unknown)

general notes on the traditional boxes:

this, like the other traditional Japanese boxes in this fortnight, may have come from Mary & Mike at PuzzleBoxWorld, but beyond that possibility i have no information on it.

the last photo shows the box open, which i'm assuming is not too much of a spoiler for anyone here. i do this mainly for those who might be interested but don't want a duplicate of some mechanism already in their collection, but also for the purpose of any possible identification, because if there's a meaningful hanko stamped inside, the underside of the lid is where it'll be.

♫:

—1. everything i have is in the photos.

—2. shipment is by USPS Priority Mail, insured for the full sale price and trackable.

—3. if the auction(s) in which you are the highest bidder have closed, and you are not bidding on other auctions, please let me know and i will organise the invoice. otherwise, shipping will be calculated after all auctions in this Fortnight are closed.

—4. payment is via PayPal only.

—5. all puzzles in my collection have been kept out of sunlight, in a humidity-stable room or sealed plastic container, away from pets unless they can solve them, and in a non-smoking household.

—6. the price for shipping+insurance will not exceed $30. if it costs more, i will pay the balance.

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

Eric Fuller - Small Box Twoː 'Aha Box' (2019)

⟬ Smallbox Fortnight ⟭——11. Eric Fuller - Small Box Twoː 'Aha Box' (2019) from Eric's description: This design was Allan Boardman's IPP exchange puzzle in 2004. He describes it as "Designed to lure your non-puzzler friends into 'our' world." It gives very few clues upon handling...it seems to be solid, with no way to open it. A solution does exist, and it's quite tricky to discover. Sturdy and pocket sized, a great puzzle to share with friends and non-pu...

Eric Fuller - Small Button Box (2016)

⟬ Smallbox Fortnight ⟭——14. Eric Fuller - Small Button Box (2016) from Eric's description: This design was inspired by the interior of the previous box I made, the Reactor Box. The final interior box was held in place by a couple strong magnets, and felt like a button when pushed. It made me think about the things I could do with an apparently simple box that just had a button to push. I like to take advantage of people's assumptions, and everyone has them when it co...

Karakuri Hit Box (2008)

⟬ Smallbox Fortnight ⟭——21. Karakuri Hit Box (2008) from the KCG description: You must hit the box to open it. This is quite simple, but it is also quite funny. At craft fairs, many people felt that Karakuri Boxes were difficult to open. Therefore, this was designed. For a long time, the craftsman continued making it in secret, because, other craftsmen in our group were trying to create special works, too. This is a new specification. The surface painting...
