History information about manufacturer:

G. J. Hayter & Co Ltd. was founded in 1927 and based in Boscombe Bournemouth, England. The company was the manufacturer of plywood jigsaw puzzles named 'Victory' since 1932.

Although the jigsaw puzzle producers like Hayter flourished in the 1930s, through the concept of the weekly jigsaw puzzle, the English Victory puzzles, found in department stores in the 1950s and 1960s, almost completely vanished.

The company became a subsidiary of board game manufacturer J. W. Spears and Sons in 1970. Spears continued the production of plywood jigsaw puzzles and named them “Victory Gold Box Series” up until 1988.

Thousands of Victory puzzles are preserved in private collections.
