Once a year, all the old Morse code stations that used to communicate with ships fire up again and fill the aether with the magic dits and dahs for a few hours. Vintage equipment is used. Yes, I know, I should probably be using the old Hallicrafters, but my good antenna's on the NRD-545. What's a fella gonna do?
Today is the first Code Red "Catastrophic" fire warning for the season. 40 plus (degrees C) temps across the state. No wind to speak of here so that's a blessing of sorts - though a breeze would be nice! Nothing to worry about (yet) but the warnings have gone out nonetheless. Authorities are desperate to avoid the disasters of last February.
WA and SA are already burning - not good in those states at all.
Make: Waddingtons
Serial: 514
Title: Great Days of Man
Series: Heptagon puzzle
Pieces: ~450 (irregular).
Size: 20 x 20 in. 50 x 50 cm.
Date: 1971/1972 (*).
Bar Code: -
Origin: England.
(*) 1971 is visible on the jigsaw itself and the guide picture on the box. However, on the bottom of the box underneath the descriptive text 1972 is stated.
Something a little different this time, a heptagonal shaped jigsaw. The seven-sided shape is perhaps best known (in the UK) as the shape of the fifty pence coin.
The pieces are the 'usual' irregular shapes as seen with Waddingtons puzzles of the era, particularly the circular puzzles of which there are many similarities with this.
Began with the obvious edge pieces, plus anything that contained text. After that colours were identified and joined together, often beginning with the larger pieces and finishing off with some of the fragments that are best identified by shape rather than content.
Construction was slightly complicated by the fact that unless you continually turned the puzzle around (I didn't) half of the images were upside down. Due to the irregular shapes I had no idea that the puzzle was going to be complete, i.e. no missing pieces, until the last handful were about to be placed and I could see that the gaps matched what was left on the table.
Had a strong sense of déjà vu when building this puzzle. Certainly not something that I've made in the last few years so perhaps something I once built during childhood.
From the bottom of the box:
Great Days of Man
1550-1600
The reign of Queen Elizabeth was notable not only for the splendour of her Court, but also for her brilliant statesmanship as she intrigued between the crowned heads of Europe to keep her realm intact. This was an era of expansion when England produced men like Drake and Raleigh to extend her sphere of influence particularly at the expense of Spain. In this period of the late Renaissance, the developments of art and learning continued, producing great men such as Shakespeare, Bacon and Napier.
