For this post, 11th March 2014, I am using photographs of six small puzzles from a respected British manufacturer.
A.V.N. Jones & Co. Ltd., made excellent wooden jigsaw puzzles from their London base in the 1920’s and 1930’s. Among them was a series of ‘six-in-one’ puzzles where six, postcard size jigsaws were marketed in a single box. I have one of this series featuring six steam trains in my collection from illustrations by G. R Micklewright; other series featured wild animals and ships.
The six jigsaws above from left to right and top to bottom feature locomotives as follows :- LMS 'Royal Scot' class 4-6-0 No 6137 Vesta; LNER 'A1' class 4-6-2 No.2547 Doncaster; SR 'Lord Nelson' class 4-6-0 No.850 Lord Nelson; LNER 'A1' class 4-6-2 No.2580 Shotover; L&MR Rocket; GWR 'King' class 4-6-0 No.6000 King George V. They are a superb set of puzzles each of approximately 30 pieces.
