    Trivia:
    Robert Journet started a toy shop in 1878 in Paddington. His father hand-made the first puzzles in the early 1890's. The business did not really get going until 1918 when the Company attended a British Industries fair and many sales were made to the U.S.A.
    Robert died in the 1930's and his son Frederick took over the business and expanded it, picking up many advertising orders, and kept it going until he sold it in 1965 to Abbey Corinthian Games who produced puzzles from 1966 until some time in the 1970's.
    The puzzles used to have a list on their backs assigning name and number (starting at 50) but this was replaced with an alliterative advertising slogan. Different color versions of many of the puzzles are available, as well as variants with different numbers of balls.
    Pleaseeeeee READ!!!
    I do COMBINED SHIPPING!
    If combining shipping please "send request for combined shipping invoice" with revised shipping cost BEFORE you pay! I can not adjust shipping once you pay!!!! It appears Ebay does NOT automatically credit back their commission on the shipping fees that they charge me and Paypal doesn't refund any fees at all anymore!
    U.S. Shipping only...No International Shipping.
    Hawaii & Alaska quoted shipping fee with insurance so please request an invoice to pay from. If shipping cost do not cover Hawaii & Alaska I will need to send you another invoice for additional shipping charges.
    For the most part on bigger heavier items I calculate shipping from the West Coast California to the East Coast as worst case scenario. If you are on the West Coast or Midwest and want a better shipping cost estimate then just email me with zip code BEFORE you pay. Once you pay I can't adjust the invoice!!! The Post Office Shipping just went up again in January and I try very hard to ship as cheap as possible yet safe and arriving perfect.
