Old burr puzzle
Posted: January 31st, 2016, 6:51 pm
Hi fellows,
As you may know, I know little to nothing about burr puzzles. I only have a few simple ones myself from my childhood.
But, I hope you can help me with some questions about this older burr puzzle that one of my family members has: This burr puzzle is made of brass, and is estimated to be from the 1930's. There's no manufacturer or country of origin indicated on this puzzle
To me it seems a rather easy burr puzzle (seeing the first block has no cuts at all, and falls out directly), but still not something I can solve immediately.
Can anyone tell:
- the solution for this puzzle (my family member has even less patience and skills for this )
- the name of this puzzle (or the name of a similar puzzle nowadays)
- if this kind of brass puzzle is known by puzzle collectors. E.g. which country does it probably come from, maybe even a manufacturer name?
- the age of this puzzle
- is this a good find? (already since long in our family, but could be a very common puzzle from the period it comes from)
Any help / information is welcome.
Thanks,
Splinter
