BCD S&T Cardboard More Waddington Circular 1st Series no3 ARP Air Raid Precautions 1939 David P IMG_1684 (1)

8 Waddington 350pc (No. 3) circular Air Raid Precautions (ARP) Design, 1941

 

This is the only vintage cardboard jigsaw in his collection – arguably the most interesting design in the first Waddington series (and Penny confirmed that it also the most rare and sought after). The Circular series was launched in 1939. The card used in 1941 was thin and flimsy, but this copy has survived in great condition, unlike its yellow box with black corners. Air Raid Precautions (ARP) puzzle illustrates the organisations & activities which protected British civilians during air raids, with 1.5 million people serving over the course of WWII. The organization was later called the Civil Defence Service. David’s jigsaw is on Jigasaurus as well as flickr.
