Description: 

Cardboard puzzle made by Tuco Workshops, Lockport, NY 19509/60s.  Mfr # 5980-P.  Picture is a photo.  No repairs needed.
Tuco was a prolific maker of diecut cardboard puzzles in Lockport, NY 1932-1984. They used stronger dies which allowed them to cut thicker cardboard (called upsom board) but only in a crooked line strip pattern. This gave their puzzles a special feel of solidity, much like wood, and a distinct competitive advantage. Later, the company thinned the cardboard and cut knobs becoming just like the other makers of diecut cardboard puzzles.  This probably led to their demise.  Overbid here will not count as one of your 4 overbid puzzles.
