Cunard
The full extent of the Cunard series of promotional puzzles is still somewhat unknown, with previously unseen examples still occasionally surfacing. The exhaustive research done by Tom Tyler over cataloging these along with all the other promotional puzzles made by Chad Valley, makes it seem unlikely that many more will appear but when they do, it always creates great excitement!
Most of the GWR puzzles were produced in significant numbers, whilst the scarcity of some of this Cunard series make it seem likely that production was at a considerably lower rate. A look at the magnificent
R.M.S. Lancastria puzzle will amply demonstrate their undeniable quality.
Boxes:-
Until 1934 Cunard puzzles came in lift-off lidded boxes described in Tom Tyler’s CVP book as ‘Series 1’. They were paper lined inside and out with orange-red sides and yellow lids bearing the Cunard flag, details of the puzzle and a small black & white guide picture.
From 1934 until 1939 Chad Valley used book boxes in a wide range of colours, described by Tom as ‘Series 4’. The change more or less coincided with the merger of the Cunard and White Star Lines in January 1934 so these boxes display both of their flags together with a black & white guide picture and details of the puzzle on the spine.
