Hi there

I have the following Chad Valley jigsaw puzzle and wondered if anyone knew what sort of age it was or anything about it.

Thanks

[1065]from "T18"-18 August 2003:
I came across a puzzle, while cleaning my parents attic, manufactured by the Jaswig Manufacturing Co, Binghamton, NY. Its title "Battle of Oct. 21, 1805, #901 in the original box, 666 pieces. To do the puzzle, you must first complete a puzzle frame. Box is plain with just a label. There was a statement on the label "Sawcut not die-cut". Have not been able to find Jaswig on the internet. Any information would be appreciated.

We can only tell you that, according to Anne Williams' "Index of Pre-1970 U.S. Jigsaw Puzzle Manufacturers", these were produced by R.C. Hyde during the 1930's. [See No. 1046, Page 68]

I would like some information on a Windsor jig picture puzzle with artwork by Philip R. Goodwin. It is a scroll cut, cardboard puzzle, the picture is titled "We're Going Home," and it was #50 in a series. The box, with red lettering, has a black-and-white guide picture.

Thanks....
My husband and I had found some information about Philip Goodwin, including on puzzlehistory.com--a fun site!
The information we found on Goodwin says that most of his paintings are scenes of the West, but the scene on our puzzle seems to be from the north woods, possibly northern Minnesota.

Hi,

[1069]from "CH"-21 August 2003:
I am wondering if you can tell me anything about a puzzle I have. It is an American Series - made only by Madmar Co., Utica, NY - No. 520 - titled Lincoln at Gettysburg. It is a two-sided puzzle and the other side is titled Apple of my Eye.

I would like to know the approximate date and maybe a value.

from Jim McW--31 August 2003:
We have only recently seen some King puzzles, and we really don't know anything about the company, although we believe it is in the UK. Can anyone give us any information about the company or its puzzles, especially about its STAR TREKTM and THUNDERBIRDSTM puzzles?
Thanks, Jim McW

from "GBY"--4 September 2003:
hya
thanks a lot for your reply.
I know that king intenational was the manufacturer and they produced just 4 of the 6 original movies in the 1000 piece jigsaws. they did the following 4, the motion picture [ which I have ], the voyage home [ star trek 4 ], the final frontier [star trek 5 ] and the undiscovered country [ star trek 6 ]. There's no date as yet, but star trek 1 came out in 1979 and star trek 6 came out in 1991, so the jigsaws must have been issued in the early 90's.
The year that they were registered is 1993, they were limited to 10,000 per jigsaw and they were made in holland by nederlandse spellenfabriek b.v. amsterdam.
hope that's of use. many thanks,
"GBY"

Did anyone ever locate this puzzle? I am also looking for the same one. Thanks.

from Jim McW--31 October 2003:
We have not heard of anyone finding one of these. In fact, we still do not know anything about the puzzle, at all. It would help if we knew anything, the manufacturer, title, or anything. We will post any relevant information we receive.
Thanks, Jim McW

from "D26"--31 October 2003:
It was made by Golden Arrow or Arrow Games in UK. That's all I know, other than that it is a 1000-piece puzzle of the Golden Temple in Amritsar, Punjab, India.

Hi,

Could you please help me with this. I see many Ambassador Puzzles that look very similar to Springboks and Hallmark puzzles. Same font, text, puzzle piece shapes etc. Is there a connection? Were Ambassador another branch of the Springbok empire?

Thanks for your time.

"IDW"

from Jim McW--31 August 2003:
AMBASSADORTM puzzles were indeed published by HALLMARKTM. As far as we know, they were published from 1982 to 1991. See our SPRINGBOK pages for more information, as well as some of the other websites and books listed on our LINKS pages.

Hi,
I came across an interesting old puzzle recently and I'm trying to research it. I saw your Jaymar Puzzle Page you have on your club's website, but I cannot find this series. I thought it might be of interest to you and your site.
I have a Jaymar Puzzle. "Fighters for Victory Modern Picture Puzzle - Pictures of Our Modern Weapons and Fighting Men" The scene is a Battle (WWII?) The name of the battle has torn off the cover. I will have to put it together to discover the name of the Battle.
Just real quick, I wanted to know if you had heard of this Fighters for Victory Series. Thanks for any help you can provide.
"L31"

from Jim McW--4 September 2003:
There's a great many brands and series of jigsaw puzzles which we have heard of but haven't yet found time to represent on our site. We know of at least seven titles in the "Fighters for Victory" series:
"Battle of Algiers"
"Battle of North Africa"
"U.S. Fliers Bomb Tokyo"
"Subtracting a Zero"
bomber, unknown title
tank, unknown title
PT Boat, unknown title

We would love to have a picture of your puzzle that we can post with this question. Perhaps someone will know the title.

RE: no. 414, Page 30
Howdy there Mate, I was reading the site, and stumbled upon this [no. 414].
Now Strangely enough, I have this exact same picture. Enclosed is a picture of the picture in question.:
"John Wayne", frame tray, unknown maker, 1951.

This picture bears the exact same MCMLI, 7336 markings as the one described in [no. 414].

Thanks Much,
