Contact me if you need to see more photos or higher quality photos.
I am willing to sell this item.
unknown metal pieces, left and right pair, unknown manufacturer;
Markings inside: R #1 MBL, L #2 MBL
Oddly, there are no holes to accept a screw or bolt.
Dad had these items in the basement as far back as I can remember;
they could be older than 1960.
It is an old, simple puzzle box, probably from Germany, age unknown.
We did not know how to open it;
it turns out that the trick for opening it is to hold it upside down !
The top piece is not broken, it rotates about that round pin.
I forgot to measure this or put a ruler in the photo,
it is less than 4 inches long, about 1 inch wide.
If you know anymore about it, the information would be appreciated.
