Hamlen, H.E. / Little Cut-up

My favorite puzzle growing up was this Little Cut-up coaching scene puzzle made by H.E. Hamlen, Chicopee, MA in the 1930s. When I was old enough to be "trusted" at the family puzzle table, I was "assigned" the sky to assemble, proudly completing it at about the same time my family completed the rest of the puzzle! By the time I reached my teens, I could do the puzzle upside down. Artist is L. Carr Cox.
