Wellington Jig-Saw Puzzle

The box top describes these as The Latest Wellington Jig-Saw Puzzle and features a coloured inset showing a family gathered around a puzzle, very reminiscent of the studies used by several other makers, perhaps most notably those of AVN Jones' Delta Fine Cut range. Probably dating from the great puzzle era of c1920-1930, Wellington Toys, Great Harwood, Lancashire, England promote themselves on their boxes as being a manufacturer. Examples are very uncommon, so presumably a relatively short-lived operation. Boxes and cut style were clearly influenced by the major brand of Chad Valley from that same period.
