Liberty Puzzles - Paul M. Paine "Map of America's Making" Classic Wooden Jigsaw Puzzle, 706 Pieces (16 Inches x 22 Inches)

Description

Most people think of jigsaw puzzles as the die-cut, cardboard puzzles that are readily available in the market today. Before the advent of cardboard puzzles, almost all jigsaw puzzles were made of real wood and cut by hand. The United States has seen two prolonged jigsaw puzzle crazes, one in the early 1900s, and the next in the late 1920s and early 30s during the Great Depression. Puzzle Care If properly cared for, your puzzle will last for many years. Please use common sense. Keep your puzzle dry. Be careful when disassembling the pieces. Our whimsy pieces are intricate and can be fragile. If you have a broken or peeling piece, a bit of Elmer's paper glue or any kind of wood glue should do the trick. Any "smoke" smell from the manufacturing process should dissipate quickly once the box is opened and the pieces air out.
