This is a vintage 1976 Springbok jigsaw puzzle titled "The Doll Shop" and numbered PZL4077. It features an array of antique dolls and toys (noted on the box to be from the collection of Sue Allen of Indpendence, Missouri). The back of the box has a poem printed on it, "Yesterday's Companions" by Barbara Burrow.
Puzzle has over 500 pieces and measures 18" X 23-1/2" when assembled. Pieces are in excellent condition, nice and glossy and very clean edges; they've held up very well as you would expect from the quality of Springbok puzzles, and they've been stored in a plastic zip-loc bag for safekeeping. The box is fully intact and in good, sturdy shape, shows only a little minor wear from storage over the years.
This is a previously assembled puzzle. I am selling a number of puzzles that come primarily from my family's two vacation homes, where they have been well taken care of and are normally marked regarding any missing pieces. This puzzle has been designated as being complete, so all pieces should be present, however I have not worked this one personally. I will accept a return if there is a problem, but I don't believe that will happen. Asking $8.00 obo. Everything I have listed for sale is "or best offer", so feel free to make an offer.

ALL ITEMS ARE AVAILABLE FOR LOCAL PICKUP.
I sell a huge variety of stuff to supplement my income and help me put the last of my kids through college. Some items come from flea markets or estate sales, and some come from around our home, but many items come to me from my extended family of hardcore hoarders. So, the variety really can be vast and unpredictable. Please check back often, because you really never know what I will have from one day to the next!
Thanks for visiting and have a great day!
