Description from the seller
Two wooden puzzles from the Perry's Popular Puzzle series - Triplex wood, size of the laid puzzle 35x25 cm, about 400 pieces
Two cardboard boxes with pasted image of the puzzle that is inside the box.
Boxes in very good condition, the puzzle pieces also in very good condition and seem complete.
Box size: 20.5 x 14.5 x 4 cm
"Perry's Populair Puzzle" refers to a rare, vintage line of wooden jigsaw puzzles from the mid-20th century, published by Perry's Engros Company from Amsterdam.
What you need to know about these specific puzzles:
• Material: The puzzles were made of high-quality triplex wood (plywood). Unlike modern cardboard puzzles, the pieces at the time were cut from wood with a fret saw or special stamping machines.
• Style: They are often so-called continuous-cut push-fit puzzles. This means the pieces flow into one another without traditional 'jigsaw knobs', fitting tightly together.
• Collectors' value: Because these wooden jigsaw puzzles have not been produced for decades, they are today popular collectibles (antique toys). They are sporadically offered on platforms like Marktplaats, eBay, or antique markets. I have personally never seen these two anywhere before.
