Jigsaw Puzzles

Once again, no name listed for the individual puzzle

I know some in this community can do all 4 puzzles in this box set of puzzles in less time than it takes me to do just one. I still enjoy doing them, and will keep working on them, even if I am slower than most.

Amazon had this box set of 4x500 "Food Truck Festivals" on sale, the individual puzzles are not named, but guessing this one is BBQ Roadhouse. Nice, easy puzzles - fun

This is from 2017 when Ceaco puzzles were made in USA and a little different than those made today in China for Buffalo. I can't say they are better, just different type cut and thickness.

Picked up this beautiful puzzle on clearance from Amazon. The only downside to it is there wasn't great variation in the puzzle pieces. So in solid colors it was slightly tedious finding the pieces that actually belonged together

Thrift shop find was a little worn but still a tight enough fit to make a very nice puzzle to do.

This was 99 cents at the nearby Salvation Army thrift store, thinner than some but fun to do (pretty easy).

Even with 1 piece missing, this was nice puzzle to do. We found it at a nearby Salvation Army Thrift shop for 99 cents (US)

Not my favorite style, but not a bad "budget priced" puzzle at a nearby outlet.

I might keep this and do it again in the future,

Fun and easy

This was not easy, a little above my skill level, took longer than usual and in the end missing 1 piece.

Really nice one to do, though some pieces weren't properly cut but it was fine. Interesting sections to work on, not too much similarity.

I found this on a bargain bin for $0.99 (US) at a nearby outlet store, pretty good quality for less than $1.00 (new)

This is part of the Silver Select Edition, made in China for Buffalo games. It is identical to Buffalo Games puzzles in cut, quality and boxing. I think Buffalo bought Ceaco in 2020.

Loose, poor fitting puzzle, needed to redo several sections (became very frustrating)

$6.99 Amazon (US)

It was hard to capture a good picture of this one. It's very glossy. This was the first holographic puzzle I've done. The plastic the the hologram is printed on made it difficult to snap the pieces together.

"And when the puzzle dust settled, the Busy Birdies — Redwood City resident Taylor, San Francisco’s Peng and Washington sisters Cathy and Jeanne Roiter — had won the first place trophy, completing two 1,000-piece puzzles in 1 hour, 16 minutes and 7 seconds."

May be special Kellogg's Vintage collection?

I was the best man in my friend's wedding, and he gave me this puzzle as a gift. The puzzle is a "surprise". There's no reference image which was a little intimidating when I saw all the grass. The pieces are random cut and the corner pieces are formed by joining two edge pieces. It was only 500 pieces though, so not much of a challenge The puzzle quality is very high. The pieces are made of wood and about 3mm thick. The image on the puzzle is of my old dog. She past away about five years ago. She was there for me through some very difficult times and meant the world to me.

If I had known the Americana style puzzle supply would dry up at the local thrift shops, I would have kept more than I did for our personal collection. Americana puzzles are probably my favorite, and both Charley Wysocki and his brother Heronim created a lot of Americana artwork.

I can't post the picture of this one because it's different from the box image, and it would be a spoiler for anyone wanting to do it. This was my first escape room puzzle. There are a bunch of hidden clues that create six puzzles. The solutions to the six puzzles reveals a final puzzle. It was way harder than any escape room I've done. I solved three of the six puzzles then decided I wanted to do something else. It was fun.

Amazon had this on sale for about 1/2 regular price. Sadly,we looked all over but can not find the missing piece. It was not easy or the best quality, but kinda fun. I hope you can see the photo of the clue sheet. If it does not show, try clicking on the post.
