Sealed NIB Vintage 1969 Springbok "ILLINOIS" State-Shaped Contour Puzzle PZL5005

Description: * NEW-in-Box and STILL SEALED in its original shrinkwrap! Here's a 1969 vintage Springbok "ILLINOIS," artwork by Charles Frace, contoured "state-shaped" fully-interlocking jigsaw puzzle, PZL5005. * Enjoy exploring the history, landmarks, and natural features of our 21st state, Illinois. Beautifully detailed artwork was painted especially for Springbok by Charles Frace. The original puzzle map/legend describing points of interest will be inside. * Made in the USA by Springbok Editions, New York. Springbok's puzzles are famous for their unique die-cuts, sturdy pieces and clear, richly colored graphics. Within a puzzle, no two pieces are the same! * Puzzle comes in its original round box that measures approximately 14-1/4" in diameter by 1-1/2" high. The completed puzzle will be 30-7/8" by 17-5/8." * CONDITION: This is an authentic, pre-owned vintage item that is over 56 years old. * As it is still SEALED in its original factory shrinkwrap--with a slight tear in the wrap, as described fully BELOW--this puzzle can be assumed to be 100% COMPLETE and in MINT condition. It will be a special addition to your vintage Springbok collection! * Please view all 12 photos, including closeups, and note that everyone's monitor/screen portrays colors, light, shadows, and reflections differently. * This is Springbok's "irregular" die-cut DI460, fully complete at 460 pieces. * The back of the puzzle pieces is presumed to be RED. * The original folded Springbok "puzzle map" will be found inside:) * As it is still inside its original shrinkwrap, the box is in EXCELLENT vintage condition, with a slightly indented area at the 10 o'clock position on the back side. * There is an approximately 12" TEAR or SPLIT in the shrinkwrap along one side; this is shown in Photo 7, and again in Photos 8, 9, and 10. * The original Springbok price tag is on the lower back side, as shown in Photo 3. There is a small amount of dust trapped between the plastic shrinkwrap and the puzzle box. I see no stains or evidence of moisture damage. * No weird odors; just the typical "old puzzle" smell from decades in storage:) * From a smoke-free, feline-friendly home. * PLEASE VIEW ALL PHOTOS and use the "zoom" feature to assess the condition for yourself, as the photos are an important part of this Description. * HOW I PREPARE PUZZLES FOR LISTING: I personally assemble the puzzle. I gently wipe the box and pieces to remove any dust. I generally do not attempt to remove tape or stickers, as this can cause considerable damage if done incorrectly. I do not undo or reverse previous repairs. I check for possible replaced pieces, but these can be difficult to detect. When considering the purchase of a vintage puzzle, keep in mind that it may have had multiple owners over the decades, and passed through many hands:) * Please ask any questions BEFORE bidding or purchasing. * DISCLAIMER: Contains small parts. As with all children's products, adult supervision is required. Products that contain small parts may pose a choking hazard and should not be used by children under 3.
