Lovely Little German Parquetry Puzzle in Original Box make do game which I grabbed right awayI'm always on the hunt for older parquetry puzzles like this, so lovely, but they are hard to find. This is just a little one, German, c. 1920s or so, but it's in perfect shape, in the original box, with tri fold booklet showing a variety of designs to be made with the tiles. I do sometimes think I should devote myself entirely to searching for beautiful blocks and related objects of creative play so many good things rolled up into them. 3 1 16" x 7
