ESCAPE FROM FRAMES

According to Anne Williams, Jigsaw Puzzles, An Illustrated History and Price Guide, Milton Bradley produced travel game kits for soldiers during the American Civil War. The company has produced many different lines of puzzles, including Bradley's, Piedmont, Beach, Chevy Chase, Buckingham, Etonian, Sheffield, Strand, and, of course, the familiar MILTON BRADLEYTM or "MB"TM line. The company has been a division of HASBRO, INC.TM since 1987 or 1988.

Magnum

Magnum puzzles seems to have been produced in series no. 4280 (with 2000 pieces) between about 1971 and about 1982. Then, they were produced in series no. 4550 (with 3000 pieces) from about 1985 to 1999. They are the largest jigsaw puzzles published by MILTON BRADLEY.
"FF" tells us that the cut of this series changed to a more challenging pattern in the mid-1990's, and that the box art changed about the same time. He also (more recently) reports that the piece pattern on the 2500 grand series changed to a new style,right around the same time that the piece pattern on the 3000 magnums changed.
