Springbok Puzzles: Square: PZL2000-Series#2 (Bullseye Logo Era)

Square: PZL2000-Series#2
(Bullseye Logo Era)
[ Home ] [ Puzzles ]

Puzzles up through PZL2060 come in the familiar square box (14-1/4" x 14-1/4" x 1-1/2"D).
Puzzles starting with PZL2061 come in a slightly smaller square box (14" x 14" x 1-1/2"D).
Even though they come in a square box, some of these puzzles are actually rectangular in shape, and one is even circular.

That's All Folks
After 1973, Springbok issued 2 last fine art puzzles (that I know of) in the PZL2000-Series. They're pictured below.

PZL2074 - Saint George and the Dragon
Year: 1969 (misprint, actually late 1970's)
Artist: Hans Schleich and Hans Schwanenburg
Shape: Rectangular
See Also: PZL2024

This puzzle was originally issued in 1969 as PZL2024. When re-issued, the copyright date was not changed, causing confusion between the two puzzles.

PZL2500 - The Chess Board
Year: 1975
Artist: (Uncredited)
Shape: Square

This square puzzle comes in an unexpected rectangular box.
