Domestic object - Mickey Mouse Puzzle, F.J. Strauss Co., Inc, 1900's (made in Korea for the company F.J. Strauss Co.)

Historical information

You probably had a set similar to these; I know I did as a kid. While these haven't completely vanished from the toy landscape, there are still a few sets of "Puzzle Blocks" being made today. Basically, these were six puzzles in one, made up of wooden cubes, each with 1/20 of the image glued to them. Usually they came in a tray or carrying case, allowing the owner to have a place to assemble the pictures. This puzzle was used by the Parker family.

Physical description

A 20 piece Walt Disney's All Wood Blocks puzzle with 6 coloured forms or pictures on all four sides of the blocks in a yellow cardboard carry case with a 6 in 1 Puzzle. The case has a plastic see through frame on the top to see the puzzle and a white plastic closing clip and handle on one side. The puzzle can be made in the box. On the back of the box are pictures of the six puzzles of Mickey Mouse and friends to be made.

Inscriptions & markings

Details of the manufacturer are printed on the sides of the box as swell as explanations about what the carry box contains.
