Description provided (if any) when acquired:

A 597-piece puzzle that measures 19 3/4 x 16 inches. The edge and five interior pieces are interlocking. The rest of the puzzle is push-fit and features very extensive color-line cutting. The cutter is unknown. According to a note which came with the puzzle, there are two replacement pieces. They must be very good- I couldn’t spot them. One piece has been slightly chewed.  This is a beautiful, difficult push-fit in fine condition, with lovely bright colors and lots of color-line cutting. The original sturdy box is very handsome.

This puzzle is part of an extensive collection of vintage hand-cut puzzles formerly owned by the late Ann Bohner, known on eBay as “puzzled grannie.” The collection includes both push-fit and interlocking puzzles.
