Our puzzle collection is based on the types of diversions made by blacksmiths in the early centuries. We call them tavern puzzles because in times gone by, communities rose up in country inns and taverns and gathered places in American towns. Did blacksmiths have a special love for puzzles? Probably. It is said that making puzzles was a task used as a training exercise for blacksmiths. An apprentice could learn the techniques of making eyes, twisting and bending with precision in a simple puzzle design like the Iron Heart. After the master was satisfied with the apprentice's skill in making nails, the young apprentice might collect a difficult puzzle like the Patience puzzle. Each puzzle is mechanical in nature. No force or tricks need to be used. The puzzle is solved when the object piece is removed. Every puzzle is considered two puzzles in one because it is not truly mastered until the object piece is returned to its original position. Literature that accompanies each puzzle indicates the starting position of the puzzle, the object pieces, and how the puzzle appeared. Tavern Puzzles are made from mild steel, similar to iron. A beautiful patina will develop through use and handling. The more you play with your puzzle, the more fascinating it becomes. Steel will rust if exposed to moisture or stored in damp conditions. If your puzzle goes untreated for a period of time, a light coat of furniture polish will keep it in good condition. With a little care, your Tavern Puzzle will become a family heirloom.
