On
offer is nice example of a complete vintage Zig-Zag Puzzle Company
wooden jigsaw produced in London, England. This depicts the British
ocean liner “R.M.S. Majestic” from the White Star Shipping Line.
The puzzle is undated, but I believe it to be from the 1920s. Please
take a good look at the pictures as they form part of the item
description. I have listed all significant faults that I can see, but
if you have any questions please get in touch.
The
R.M.S. Majestic was launched in 1914 as the SS Bismark for the German
Hamburg America Line. She was ceded to Great Britain after WW1, and
entered service for the White Star Line 1922. She held the title of
the largest ship in the world until 1935. In September 1939 the ship
caught fire and sank, and was eventually broken for scrap in about
1943.
The
jigsaw comes in its original box, and contains about 150 wooden
pieces. When
put together the puzzle measures approx. 40cm x 22cm. The graphics on
the jigsaw are in nice condition, and the colours are still good.
Across the top of the puzzle is the wording “RMS Majestic 56.621
Tons The Worlds Largest Liner”. In the top left-hand corner is a
white star, and the words “White Star Line”. There are some signs
of wear to the puzzle from handling and use. In two of the corners there are pin holes. There is some bumping and rubbing to the pieces as pictured, but none are broken.
The
card box measures about 25cm x 18cm x 3.5cm. On the lid is a colour
postcard picture of the completed puzzle. The box has obvious signs
of wear and tear commensurate with age and use. It is rubbed and
bumped on the corners and edges, and has worn through / split in
places. It is a little out of shape, and has tape on it as pictured.
Despite
the cosmetic faults this is still a lovely vintage jigsaw puzzle. It
displays well, and will make a very good addition to any collection.
