Mr Puzzle - We've got puzzles!
Brian began
collecting puzzles as a kid but things got very serious in the
early in 1992 when he decided to start making puzzles for a living
as well. Since then he pretty much lives and breathes puzzles.
Brian designs puzzles, makes puzzles, sells puzzles, and collects
puzzles. He currently has a few thousand puzzles in his collection.
Brian collects all types of puzzles but would very much love
to add some old Australian puzzles to his collection. Brian is very
interested in collecting old Australian puzzles although he's
found these are few and far between. A prized possession
is this Cohn's Pharmacy puzzle dated from the early 1900's when
the telephone numbers in Melbourne had just three numbers. Recently Brian
also heard of a "Telecom T" puzzle circa 1970's. He's
never even seen one but of course thinks he would love to add
it to his collection. A couple of
other puzzles that Brian would love to have in his collection
dating from late 1800's to early 1900's are: The Lost Sheep
puzzle circa 1889 (photo below thanks to James Dalgety at The Puzzle Museum) and The White Australia Puzzle circa
1914 (aka The White Australia Game) photo thanks to the National
Archives of Australia. Although these days the sentiment expressed
by this puzzle is totally unacceptable there is not doubt this
puzzle reflected the political opinions of a different era. If you think
you have a puzzle that Brian may be interested to add to his
collected please don't hesitate to contact us at syoung@mrpuzzle.com.au with the details.
