Description: * Vintage 1969 Springbok "BILBAO" (A Mini Puzzle in a Mini Box) featuring art by Marcel Barbeau, 7"x7" square miniature jigsaw puzzle, PZL 7010. Made in the USA. * Vivid colors pulsate in this splendid art by the distinguished Canadian artist Marcel Barbeau (1925-2016). He excelled in painting, sculpture, graphic design, and the performing arts. * Springbok's puzzles are famous for their unique die-cuts, sturdy pieces and clear, richly colored graphics. Within a puzzle, no two pieces are the same! * This mini art puzzle comes in its original hinged square box, with a short biography of the artist on the back. Box measures about 4-1/4" x 4-1/4" x 1-1/2". The completed puzzle is 7" by 7" square. * CONDITION: This is an authentic, pre-owned vintage item that is over 55 years old. It is 100% original and COMPLETE (no missing pieces) and is in overall VERY GOOD (pieces) to GOOD (box) vintage condition. * The pieces are brightly colored, thick and glossy, showing occasional light surface wear. One piece has some very fine surface scratches, when viewed at an angle (please see closeup photo). I saw NO bent, broken, torn, chewed, or replacement pieces. * The back of the puzzle is WHITE, with age-appropriate toning. Pieces fit together perfectly (a bit on the loose side for a Springbok) and the finished puzzle lays flat and smooth. * Box is sturdy and has cosmetic issues. Box-top art is still quite good. There is NO tape. There is NO writing. Box HAS its original paper-tape "hinge" joining the lid to the bottom. Box top has light scuffing, chipping at the edges, dings to the corners, and three of the four lid corners are split. Box bottom has moderate scuffing and shelf wear, but is still readable. Inside of box is clean. There is no tape, tape residue, stickers, writing, or other markings. * Please view all photos, and note that everyone's monitor or screen will portray colors, shadows, and light reflections differently. * No weird odors; just the familiar typical "old puzzle" smell from decades in storage:) * From a smoke-free, feline-friendly home. * PLEASE VIEW ALL PHOTOS and use the "zoom" feature to assess the condition for yourself, as the photos are an important part of this Description. * Please ask any questions BEFORE bidding or purchasing. * DISCLAIMER: Contains small parts. As with all children's products, adult supervision is required. Products that contain small parts may pose a choking hazard and should not be used by children under 3.
