Smokey Bear Jeep Puzzle

• CATEGORIES: Features • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

John shared this puzzle that includes Smokey Bear and, as he also noted, a somewhat inaccurate jeep. Still, looks fun!

I found a used version on eBay, which I bought. There are some others on eBay, but watch the shipping prices! You can buy this new at Cabelas (closest one to us is 2+ hours away) for $29.99 or Amazon for $39.99 or other sellers at varying prices.

Jeep Vintage Literature Eurographics Puzzle $19.99

I found this puzzle for sale on Amazon. Since I have most of the ads (don’t have any Hondo lit though), it seemed a fun one to get. It’s got me thinking .. maybe I should arrange some of my rarer lit pieces and take high quality pics for a series of unique puzzles. There are several services out there that offer custom puzzles, such as this one: https://www.puzzleyou.com/photo-puzzle

My wife thought this puzzle was too good to pass up, given our 2017 Alaska Or Rust trip, so she surprised me with it. This puzzle is available through a variety of sellers (one of which is Amazon). The illustration was done by Ken Zella.

Matchbox Jeep Puzzle on eBay

• CATEGORIES: Features, toys • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This is a pretty simple puzzle, but I doubt many exist.

“This is a 5″ X 7″ jigsaw puzzle produced in 1969 by the Fred Bronner Corporation, the US importer of Matchbox cars to promote the British line of diecast model cars.  There are 8 puzzles in the set, and I have all eight listed now on eBay. Six of the eight listed are still sealed in the factory shrink-wrap. This particular one, the Standard Jeep number 72, has no shrink-wrap, but all pieces are there, and it is in excellent condition.”
