Novelty Puzzles

advertising, contest, 3-D, specialty

Novelty puzzles found their greatest moment in the 1930's when inexpensive entertainment was in great demand and puzzles, particularly die cut cardboard puzzles, were being produced cheaply and in great numbers. The many forms of novelty puzzles is amazing. Advertising puzzles were the most numerous but other genre include mystery, contest, problem, riddle, crossword, 3-dimensional and others. Our collection does not focus in this area since novelty puzzles generally are not hand cut but a few examples displayed below.
