This is a really interesting antique dissected puzzle with an unusual subject matter. It is entitled 'Useful Trades' and depicits various trades people at work. On one side of the puzzle there is a shoe maker and a painter and on the other side there is a blacksmith, a bricklayer and a carpenter. It contains all its pieces, a couple are replacements but done very well. All housed in the original wooden box with illustrated sliding lid.
The box measures 20cm w x 25.5cm l x 5cm h.
