In the BCD auction of the late Dave Cooper's jigsaws, Lot 1 – A1 Puzzle Club Goldfish 637pc, box lid only, complete with 2repl, 28.5x14in, est £80 – MADE £90
This prompted me to do a collage of other vintage jigsaws based on the WS Coleman 1893 Pears album image Goldfish, like the one sold above.
Top Left: Chad Valley 300pc , 28x13.5in sold June 2016 for £35
Top Centre & Top Right: Vintage 70x34cm, 3pcmiss, sold Feb 2014 for £90
Lower Left: Selfridges Inter Lock 300pc, 15x13in 1pcmiss, sold July 2017 for £80 by a BCD member. Image cropped.
Lower Right: detail of Vintage 800pc push-fit, 28x13in, with repl, sold April 2014 by a BCD member, price not recorded.
Another one not shown here:
Vintage 500pc 28x13in, 2repl push-fit, sold by a BCD member in March 2018 for £34
There is another WS Coleman painting called 'The Little Fisher Maids' which shows two girls by a square pond. This has been used for Tuck ZagZaw jigsaws, and doubtless by other cutters too. You can see an earlet version below which appeared at the show & tell, and my files include a push-fit version too.
