BCD House Party 2020 Show & Tell Unit Jigsaw DSC07585
The theme for the Show & Tell was 'Village & Rural Life'.
This lovely jigsaw is from the 1930s, a whimsy-cut by James Browning of Unit. These are plywood, with a thin red cedar veneer. This example has a number of letter and number figurals with a semi-interlocking matrix. The cutting line is not zig-zaggy like the Milton Bradley Premier Library jigsaw I own. I've only ever come across these in Bob Armstrong's Fall Sale listings, but we don't see many USA jigsaws other than Parker Pastime's over here in the UK. I've only two in my files, both sold on Ebay in 2012-3.
Disappearing off the top, is a Picture Puzzle by Lewis Taylor, from the 1909 era. The painting, In Disgrace by English artist Stanley Berkeley, shows a family of collies whose 'black sheep' has returned filthy with mud, or something else.
