BCD HParty American Large Parker Pastime 2 DSC07518
Close up of progress on presumed Parker Pastime c1000pc? The Trip to the Mill. We started on our 1500pc board and I really hoped it would be big enough. The figurals are really quite large - this surprised me, but the largest Parker I'd done previously was only about 400pc. This was taken on Friday at 15-46, so you are looking at 2-4hrs actual work.
This was one of several large jigsaws I optimistically took to the BCD House Party in February 2020. I bought it in August 2019 fora reasonable sum, probably because it wasn't labelled as Parker Pastime, had no original box, no piece count or dimensions, and had replacements and a chewed piece. The division of the blank into rectangles is uncommon for Parker Pastime, but not without precedent, and the number and shape of the figurals indicated to me that it was American and likely Parker. I had a bit of discussion about it with an American BCD member who came to the event, in our private facebook group, so I was keen to complete this jigsaw first.
