[315]from "DLF"-2 September 2001:
I would like to purchase a puzzle of the world where each piece is a country. I have a puzzle of the US made by rainbow works and am looking to purchase a similar one but of the world. Please let me know where I can purchase this. What stores sell these. I have been all over the internet and department stores and have not been able to find one.
Thank you, "DLF"

from Jim McW--30 September 2001:
We have quite a few map puzzles in our collection, including some world maps, almost all older puzzles, some of which we can sell, but I don't recall any in which each country is a separate piece. Does anyone know of such a puzzle? Any by Rainbow Works? Anyone have an 800 number or website or customer service address for Rainbow Works?
Thanks, Jim McW

Hi,
I have a puzzle from Playtime House in Rochester, N.Y., bought in 1952. The Item is No. 4201, and the image is a drawing of a young cowboy.
Do you know if Playtime House still exists?
Best regards "LK", Norway

from Jim McW--4 October 2001:
Anne Williams, in Jigsaw Puzzles, An Illustrated History and Price Guide, dates Playtime House puzzle production to the 1950's. The Playtime House puzzles we have seen look as though they would be from the 1950's. We are not aware of any production later than the 1950's. You are welcome to send us a picture to be posted with your question, either by e-mail or by post. Meanwhile, here is a picture of a Playtime House from our collection:
"Spring Blossoms", Playtime House [c. 1950's]

This site is designed primarily to provide a wholesome place to view and learn about all kinds of jigsaw puzzles, especially the older varieties. We do occasionally sell off some of our collection, but I'm not sure whether we have such a puzzle, off-hand. Many of the pictures on the site have been provided by collectors across the world. Does anyone have a puzzle of Europe and wish to sell it?
Thanks, Jim McW

Hi, I have a Tuco puzzle, I was hoping you could tell me about how old it is. It has 350 to 400 pieces, I do not have the actual count. I have the series # 5980-8 on the side of the box with the word "Superb" next to it. If you can give me any information on this I would appreciate it.
Thank you for your help, "PJB"
***************
from Jim McW--7 October 2001:
I believe the "Superb" series was current in the 1950's, perhaps into the 1960's. Can you send a picture or scan?
Thanks, Jim McW

do you know where i can buy big ben puzzles by milton bradley. 2000 pieces or more.
please and thank you "ATW"

from Nancy Ballhagen--7 October 2001:
Hi Atw,
You may have to look in the secondary (used) market for Milton puzzles with 2000 pieces, as, to my knowledge, they are not making any puzzles over 1500 pieces any more, as of this last year, at least that is what my latest catalog indicates. I think I still have one or two in my shop but will not be able to get them again as far as I know. I hope this helps.

Hi Atw (and Jim), I looked at my MB catalog today and discovered I made a booboo when I said that they didn't make anything over 1500 pieces. They have listed also 2000 piece ones but none over that. We don't have any in stock. My memory is getting iffy I guess.

from Jim McW--8 October 2001:
Amazing as it may seem, there doesn't seem to be have been any puzzles produced featuring the yankee stadium or the team. As we mentally list puzzles with a baseball theme, these come to mind:
"The Rookie", by Norman Rockwell, FINKTM[see no 312 on Page 22]
"Bottom of the Sixth", by Norman Rockwell, FINKTM
"The Dugout", by Norman Rockwell, FINKTM
"Take Me Out to the Ball Game", NORDEVCOTM
"Yankee Stadium", 3D, by HASBROTM
"Lou Gehrig", COLORFORMSTM, U.S.P.S.TM
"Dodgers", 24-piece promotional puzzle (picture of stadium)
"The Babe", HALLMARK SPRINGBOKTM, PZL2412 [see no 153 on Page 11]
"Play Ball", HALLMARK SPRINGBOKTM, PZL 4504
"Hats Off to the Major Leagues", HALLMARK SPRINGBOKTM, PZL 6180
"The Old Ball Game", HALLMARK SPRINGBOKTM, PZL 4463
"Casey Strikes Out", TUCO [ 1950's ]
"ABC Wide World of Sports"(Baseball), TUCO [ 1960's? ]
Can anyone come up with any more?
Thanks, Jim McW

Hi Jim.
On the subject of Baseball, I have a lot of people asking for baseball stadiums and players. As for other Baseball puzzles, a few come to mind:
"Fenway Park", by FX SCHMIDTM
"Play Ball", by NORDEVCOTM
"Baseball Trivia" by NORDEVCOTM
"Toys In The Attic", by SUNSOUTTM
"Baseball Memories", by MASTERPIECESTM
Most of these are memorbilia type puzzles or Baseball card collages. WHITE MOUNTAINTM puts out a great sports puzzle, which is called "Sports History" and has all kinds of sports info on it. We have it worked and on display in the shop. A few years ago we had a couple of puzzles from STARLINETM (they make all kinds of sports posters and such). One was a great puzzle of the Yankees, and a couple of others had individual players on them, but I don't know if they make them any more. Can't think of any others off the top of my head right now.

Hi,
I was wondering if you have any information on the 500-piece puzzles made by MB in 1968 and again in 1975. The artist signed the paintings Gig and they were always of a big-eyed kitty or puppy. Thanks. "MLB"

Is this one of them?
"Porkchop", MILTON BRADLEYTM.

Hello,
I am a lover of these puzzles. I have the series "The Cobblestone Way" but the ones shown on your site are beautiful.
Can I purchase the Milton Bradley jig-Saw Puzzles anywhere in Canada. I would appreciate an e-mail from you. I am a senior citizen and this is a past-time of mine.
Regards, "DB"

from Jim McW--11 October 2001:
Unfortunately, we are not familiar with puzzle distribution in Canada. However, see our LINKS page for some on-line jigsaw puzzle stores. At least one, Jigsaw Jungle is located in Canada and has a storefront there, in addition to the website. We also have some MB puzzles available for sale from our collection, although we may not have had time to post all of them to the Items for Sale" section.

Hi; I am looking for a Milton Bradley puzzle, which I think is a Big Ben series from the late 1950' or early 1960's. The puzzle in question is one of Mt. St. Helens. In this puzzle there is Mt. St. Helens in the background, Spirit Lake in the foreground with the branches of some trees left and right in the foreground, the branches have leaves that have turned color to orange. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Best Regards, "SS"

from Jim McW--3 November 2001:
We have not seen a Big Ben with this subject, but we did find pictures of two puzzles featuring Mt. St. Helens:
"Spirit Lake", a FAIRCHILDTM puzzle.
"Mt. St. Helens", a SUPER PUZZLETM.
