Bob Armstrong's Old Jigsaw Puzzles
I love old hand-cut wooden jigsaw puzzles. As a young boy in the 1940's, I enjoyed assembling wood jigsaw puzzles in the family, and now in my retirement, I spend most of my time buying, restoring, exhibiting and selling puzzles. If you wish to buy, sell or just learn about old (antique) puzzles, you are invited to explore my web site and contact me at: raahna [at] oldpuzzles [dot] com.
