Blue Bird (75 piece), The

This puzzle, which is of solid mahogany construction, is the smaller of two sizes shown in the earlier price list of the company, with only this 75 piece variant being shown in their later catalogue. Both issues also quote that many hundreds of these puzzles have been sold by us.
The puzzle follows the usual Figure=It=Out philosophy of being outline cut from its background before being carefully cut along almost all of its colour boundaries to make for a challenging task of assembly, especially without the benefit of an image to act as guide.
