Found this at a thrift Shop, still in original wrap, box lists 1972 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Gameophiles Unlimited Inc

 

Old, worn out puzzle from thrift shop missing 1 piece and very loose, barely stayed together

This is not the first time I worked on this puzzle..

 

I had to restart my island and keep it from progressing because I wanted this video. Last year I did not think of recording it, but this year I was prepared.

 

From the Currier & Ives Collection of the Museum of the City of New York (local thrift shop find)

There was a time when you could get his art with the Wysocki name, but Charles Wysocki was able to copyright that name, his brother then used Heronim , rather than Harry Wysocki. I like both artists.

It is his brother, Harry Wysocki , he uses Heronim, signature in lower right hand corner. Heronim is also known for having a black cat in every puzzle but I looked at this picture closely and can not find the black cat.

I had a hard time completing this puzzle, above average challenge even for 1000 piece puzzles.

 

We noticed with size 6 , very large shadow fish we do better in hand held mode. We tried two different switches and several different TV's and multiple controllers. There seems to be a very slight delay in sound using HDMI on every TV we tried, even in "Game" or "PC" mode.

We experimented and learned using the headphones in addition to HDMI solved the issue. We are using 2 different switch setups so I used a cheap manual 3.5 mm a-b toggle switch and 2 cables to feed an old set of powered computer speakers. Perhaps people with better hearing and faster reaction times the slight audio delay is not enough to affect their game play but if you do find you miss the larger fish too often when using HDMI consider try using headphones. .

Bits and Pieces have the most difficult border pieces, but Springbok and I think SunsOut have unusual shapes as well. We buy Bits and Pieces because they some times have box sets at good prices. You posted Ravensburger, they are always good quality, and I only remember one I did not like, it was too dark.

Almost missed this, great puzzle!

Master Pieces has a lot of budget puzzle. The quality of the 300 and 500 piece puzzles are better than the 1000 . The quality of Master Pieces is similar to CEACO, close to Buffalo but not as good. Master Pieces uses unusual shapes, but unlike Bits & Pieces keeps the border pieces pretty easy to identify. If they were identical in size and price, I would choose Buffalo over Master Pieces, but Master Pieces is usually cheaper. Master Pieces is so close to CEACO in quality and price I choose whatever is on sale.
