Designed in 1899 by Richard Moller, working for A.J.Richter & Co. the Kobold puzzle was one of 36 different Anchor Puzzles manufactured between 1891 & 1964. The height of their popularity was during WW1 when they were manufactured for troops in Germany and ironically under licence by British Lotts Brick Co. for the English troops as well. The pieces were made of a mixture of Kaolin clay from Bavaria which Richter had purchased the patent for in 1882 and originally used to manufacture Anchor Stone building blocks.
