with some loss of the bright yellow nailed-on trim around the lower sides

Great Graphics: US Embossing Co "Missionary Puzzle" c. 1930s fancy woman with the top mat tapeI'm a great fan of the US Embossing Co., Albany NY, which made the Color Cubes I love so much so the excellent graphics on this "Missionary Puzzle" are no real surprise, though I do think excellent. C. 1930s, with instructions for 5 different games on the underside of the lid, and the solutions fold out still inside the box. Great for a road trip or on the coffee table, and really a perfect stocking stuffer. 4 5 8" x 4 5 8" x 3 8" t. Good condition,
