I’ve been shopping again, and I’ve bought my first vintage wooden puzzle! According to the seller, it’s from the 50s and about 1000 pieces.
There is no image on the box, but the seller had managed to find this old travel brochure with the image of this puzzle (just the image in the middle, not the areas with text above and below).
Not only is there no image on the box, there is no information whatsoever, except on the bottom someone has written in Swedish “We are enjoying the sun and watching the Alps with binoculars.” Which is exactly what the people in the image seem to be doing. There are also some numbers, but I have no idea what they mean. The text is very faint. This is going to be interesting!
I’ve bought some newer puzzles as well:
This I bought used. My efforts to quit Educa once again thwarted by an irresistible image š
Looks like you’ve found some awesome puzzles! That wooden one looks like an interesting cut to work with, I’m excited to see it assembled. The owls are adorable too, I’ve done the B&T Brewing puzzle, it was a lot of fun, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. š

I think the wooden one is going to be difficult, but I’m looking forward to it. The pieces are quite small, I’ll post a comparison photo when I start doing it. I remember the B&T puzzle from your blog and was very happy to see it on sale in one of my shops, I’m sure I will love it!
