The silence when the first puzzle kept breaking apart had me dying 🤣

[Ohwhale]

The way they made these puzzles is actually pretty simple! The top thin plastic mold was cast and then the foam agent (which is actually liquid at first) was poured on top! When the foam is fully set they then die-cut the puzzle!!!

How funny that Ken’s puzzle ended up being so much more vibrant than the other one! I’m almost certain that the box didn’t start out that dull. Over time, the colors on the printed paper would have just faded when exposed to light of any kind. I know I’ve got a few vintage Springbok puzzles that have very dull looking boxes but bright pieces, because the box protects the pieces from fading. The only reason I even bought them was that they were octagonal Springbok puzzles and that trumped the dull looking box! This is a good reminder for me to not judge a vintage puzzle by its box - check inside to see if the pieces look any different!

I was born in 1961. I went to Paris with a choir in 1973, five years after these puzzles were first released. My dad was a real puzzle enthusiast. We always had some kind of puzzle going on our dining room table. Watching these puzzles being solved and assembled, I am reminded of my dad leaning over the table, putting the same puzzles together. He would only do a puzzle once, or maybe twice, and then put it away. It was the process of assembling that he enjoyed. He has been gone now since 2011, and I miss him every day. Thank you for sharing your puzzle journey with us. 🌙💜☮️

One more note - the box says “Patent applied for.” I went onto Google Patents and searched every keyword I could think of but couldn’t find a patent for anything like this. If anyone has better sleuthing skills, let me know if you manage to find anything.

Those flashlight shots at the end to show the contrasting levels of the pieces were incredible

[darci]

I love how the pieces fit together. You kept saying "Did you hear that". Unfortunately because I'm deaf so I'm not able to but I still can imagine the sound. But luckily fitting the pieces is so visual so it still satisfy me. It's such a great puzzle.

I absolutely love your vintage puzzle videos. Netflix needs to hire you to do a jigsaw puzzle documentary and fund your research!!! 😅

[sacoradean]

I laughed so hard when you accidentally ripped it in half. I had to rewind to watch it again 😂

[random_youtube_commenter]

I have no idea how I went from death metal videos to a girl super into puzzles but I'm here for it, you go girl! Thanks YouTube!

[BlazingKhioneus]

I hope these kinda puzzles make a comeback, maybe even in a material that'll lend itself to more puzzle-like cuts and have more longevity than foam.

[judysocal]

I laughed when you said the box was retro. When it came out in 1968 it was pretty cutting edge. Thanks for sharing these wonderful puzzles.

[leighm]

Karen’s videos bring me so much joy! Is it her infectious laugh? Is it her amazing editing skills, is it the joy radiating from her inner sole? I have no idea but I’m here for it. Gosh I ❤️ this channel!!!

Can't wait for the 5D puzzles with multiverse time travel

[rubberplant]

I had a couple of "4d cityscape time puzzle" with famous cities. The first layer is like a cardboard puzzle with an old map image, the second layer is a foam puzzle with newer map and then come the plastic buildings that you will need to insert into foam in the time order they were built and sometimes remove if they were removed. That was pretty unique and interesting for me, but there are of course some disadvantages, the first puzzle like this was hard because I was not used to such map images

[janesmith]

I laughed so hard when you said the puzzle was old enough that it was as made in West Germany! I’m old enough that I was BORN in West Germany a decade before the puzzle was made. I guess that makes me super-duper retro! 🤣🤣🤣 Even though I was in West Germany, I’ve never been to Paris. Thanks for the great videos and the laughs. 😁

[patrickhanft]

😄 as someone born in "West" Germany, I've heard many times about the identity crises many Germans born in the former GDR have about how their country basically stopped existing. I think it's not fair to say, I can relate now, but I had to chuckle a little bit about that, when you said "that doesn't exist anymore". 😇

[KarenPuzzles]

If anyone knows how they would have made these or has any insight into what materials it was made of, please let me know in a comment! The box says “all plastic” but that’s the only official info. Since I can’t be sure what they were making styrofoam out of in the 60s, I made sure to wash my hands every time after touching it.

I'm not even really a fan of jigsaws, but I am a fan of how enthusiastic Karen is about them. It's fun to see how much genuine enjoyment she gets from them.
