Second vintage puzzle that I picked up while I was out of town. Nice thick pieces, appealing image. The cut had a bunch of interior pieces that looked like edge pieces, which made it trickier than I’d expected. Fun to do. If any vintage mavens have info on the likely date range, please clue me in.
First Tuco! First vintage, for that matter, since thrift/charity stores are thin on the ground in my area — I picked this up recently when I was out of town. The puzzle is in great shape, but I can’t say the same for the box. The pieces are super thick, but tend to jar loose since most have 0-1 knobs. The image isn’t my cup of tea and the trees are pretty blurry, but it was fun to put together. Any vintage mavens able to date this one?
While it is a “gimmick” puzzle where the completed puzzle doesn’t match the box, I got it for the wacky image. I like the quality — the pieces are matte, fit together well, and feel nice and smooth. There isn’t a lot of challenge to it, but it’s fun to do.
I borrowed this one in order to try out Ordinary Habit. It’s a bit blocky, but the feel and colors are very nice. At MSRP, I’d pass, but if a bargain came my way…
I wanted to try a Kinstler puzzle and this one went on sale, so. I like the artwork with its non-stereotypical rodeo outfits. The print is good and the fit is fine, but there is such a lot of glare that I don’t see myself doing another Kinstler, despite the brand’s support of artists, unless they go matte.
I had fun with this one. The fit seems to be much improved from the excessively looseness while the print and piece feel remain quite nice.
