TITLE: CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK
MAKER: UNKNOWN
W x H: 12 x 9 PIECES: 176
PRICE: $20
NOTES: Complete. Very good condition. Classic scene where the son is expounding to his elders about the hunt. I have seen many variations of this print by the same
artist. Puzzle is cut in a
strip cut where the edges interlock but many of the interior ones are not connected vertically. Since this puzzle comes with a nice photo, it may be one of the
puzzles from Kevin Smith's auction a few years ago. Bonus: Comes with Godiva chocolates. (Well the replacement box anyway)
