Gold Box "Super-Cut" Puzzles

The history of these superior quality puzzles is still a little uncertain, but their quality and popularity amongst collectors is undeniable.
Produced in significantly smaller numbers than their Artistic series cousins, they featured various cutting techniques, some of which are fairly consistent throughout, whilst others are less uniform.

These variations give credence to a belief that they were available as special order items. Certainly some of the images used are seldom seen on other puzzles, whether from Victory or any other manufacturers for that matter. Other examples used prints widely available throughout the ranges which Victory produced and were clearly produced for general sale, probably at a somewhat higher price for the more discerning customer. As a possible example of the former, look at this large image of The Prince's Return, which has typical wavy-edge but no whimsy shapes at all!
