Did I say it is a circular puzzle or an "in the round puzzle" as Springbok calls it? It is, and even though it only has approximately 506 pieces, it is very hard.
Ah, I just read that the box says that every piece is different. Our box does not say that but I bet that it is so. No wonder it is so gosh darn hard!
Although there is no date on the box, sources online say that this puzzle may date to 1964 and that it is Springbok puzzle number PA20.
Are you a jigsaw puzzle fan? If so, what are you working on? If you have not worked a puzzle for a long time, do you remember what the last one was?

Buy this Little Red Riding Hood's Hood puzzle on eBay.
I loved LRRHH. Did it a few times. And Springbok is my favorite puzzle maker. I have done the Dole banana puzzle, and the Ravensburger 9000 Astrology. Think I'm done with puzzles like that, though.
ReplyDeleteI am looking desperately for the Little Red Riding Hood puzzle...I bought it for my Dad probably 1965? Where did you get yours?? Thanks
ReplyDeleteHi Victoria - I had mine for years and eventually sold it on eBay. You can check and see if there are any available on eBay by clicking on the picture or any of the links in this post. However, I do not see any available right now. It is a rare puzzle and ones that appear on the site do sell so you might have luck if you keep checking back.
DeleteI was about 10 years old in 1968 when my neighbor's daughter was doing this puzzle! CRAZY!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's an old puzzle, that is for sure!
DeleteJust ordered this. Had one, missing 40 pieces when I served at the Naval Hospital Portsmouth during Viet Nam. Always wanted to try the ultimate puzzle.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it once it arrives.
DeleteI would have been 9 mid 1964, but it seems I should have been younger when my (older) cousins were working this in our grandparents' home. I liked puzzles even then, but I think I took one look at this one and walked away. Lol Now I'd like to find it again.
ReplyDeleteWhere can you get this? Can somebody give me a link?
ReplyDeleteYou can follow the links to eBay shown here on this page. However, there are currently none available so you will have to keep trying, maybe checking back once a week. I can see that the last one sold for $100 plus $30 today and the one prior to that sold for $200 plus $50 shipping a month before that. Good luck with your search!
