Vintage Mossy Creek Woodworks “Sweet Sixteen” wooden brain teaser puzzle, handcrafted in Wesley, Arkansas.
A really neat piece of American folk craftsmanship! This challenging mechanical puzzle features 16 uniquely shaped wooden pieces with interlocking wavy edges. The goal is to assemble them into one solid rectangular block.
Made by Mossy Creek Woodworks, a small Ozarks workshop known for its handcrafted wooden toys and puzzles. Their work was even distributed through museum gift shops, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Condition: Vintage condition in original stapled plastic packaging. Paper header shows age-related discoloration, creasing, and edge wear. Plastic bag has scuffs, wrinkles, and general storage wear.

A fun, unusual piece of early-1990s American woodworking and puzzle-making history!
