PLEASE NOTE:  I buy my puzzles at thrift stores.  I assemble all puzzles before offering them for sale.  It's a bummer when I go through all of that trouble and piece(s) are missing, but at least I am letting you know what you are getting before you buy.  I try to describe the condition of the puzzle pieces and boxes to the best of my ability.  Puzzles are shipped partially assembled in sections depending on size of box.  You can finish assembly, glue and frame, or break apart and start from scratch.  

I am offering a used and pre-owned, 550-piece, c 1997 Hoyle Products Puzzle entitled "Big Surprise".  Puzzle is complete ... all pieces are here.  Measures 18 inches by 24 inches.  Can you see the hidden deer in the trees above the young deer?  Awesome design by Artist D. Rust.  Box has damage such as color fade, dings, rips, scratches, scuffs, tape, wear, etc.  Pieces are in good condition and don't appear handled much.  Pieces are interlocking and fit together well.    

If you love the picture but don't have the patience, space or time, I've done the work for you.  Puzzle will be shipped partially assembled in sections within box so you can finish assembly, glue and frame, or break apart and start from scratch.  This puzzle would be awesome assembled, glued and framed and hung in a camp, country home, man cave, etc. 

This beautiful vintage puzzle will be Sold ... AS IS … NO RETURN … NO REFUND.  

I have lots of puzzles listed so feel free to browse and buy a few!
