Springbok Bon Voyage Travel Jigsaw Puzzle

FOR TRAVEL TUESDAY

Celebrating my love of travel, I decided to share Springbok's Bon Voyage jigsaw puzzle today. Beware that it is one of two that have the same name.

I love the artwork on this one, which was done by Susan W. Berman. It features hotels from around the world and I may never stay at any of them but I still love them and the idea of traveling again when the pandemic has passed and the world is once again a safe place to travel in.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

This puzzle is from 2006, has 2000 pieces and is called Bon Voyage! When finished it will be rectangular and measure 34 inches by 42.5 inches. It is Springbok's puzzle number 1JIG20479.

HOTELS

A few of the hotels included in the artwork are the Hotel Atlanta in Brussels, the Hotel Spendid Suisse in Italy and the Neptun Hotel for which a country is not named. Have you stayed at any of these hotels? If you have, that would make working this puzzle double the fun and, of course, if you are like me and just love travel and/or the idea of travel, this puzzle is a fun anyway.

WHERE TO BUY THIS PUZZLE

Although not technically a vintage puzzle, you will have to search eBay to find it because it is no longer available from Springbok. You can do so by clicking right here.

As always, I recommend buying a new puzzle, if possible. If you have to buy a used puzzle, remember that I suggest that you make sure that it is complete and no, counting the pieces is not a good measurement of completeness. If it is not a new puzzle, working it is really the only way to know that all of the pieces are there. Of course, it is perfectly okay to work a puzzle that is incomplete as long as you know that is a possibility and you are okay with that fact.

Vintage Springbok Dancing is a Ball Jigsaw Puzzle

FOR INTERNATIONAL DANCING DAY

I went looking for a jigsaw puzzle to celebrate International Dance Day, which is celebrated every year on April 29. According to Wikipedia, the day was intended as a worldwide celebration of dance and was originally created by the Dance division of the International Theatre Institute, the branch of the performing arts of UNESCO. I love how this puzzle features so many different types of dance.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

This puzzle is a vintage 1986, 1000-piece Springbok jigsaw puzzle called Dancing is a Ball. When finished the puzzle will be rectangular and measure 24 inches by 30 inches. It is is Springbok's puzzle number PZL6121.

DANCES

The list is long and features 31 dances including but not limited to the waltz, fox trot, cha cha, polka, jive, jerk, twist, mashed potato, disco and slam dancing. Which one is your favorite?

WHERE TO BUY THIS PUZZLE

Because it is a vintage puzzle, you will have to search eBay to find it. You can do so by clicking right here. I recommend buying a new puzzle, if possible. If you have to buy a used puzzle because that is all that is available or because that is all that you can afford and if it matters to you, make sure that you find out if the seller guarantees the puzzle to be complete. Counting the pieces is not a good way to know if a puzzle is complete since the number of puzzle pieces as given on the outside of the puzzle box does not necessarily represent the exact number of pieces within the box. Unless a puzzle is new, working it is the only way to know it is complete. Of course, you may be content to work a puzzle that is missing a piece or two and, as long as you know that is a possibility, that is okay, too.
