A brief history of the Chad Valley Company, two small puzzles they made, and digressions about puzzle libraries and packaging. (about 4000 words; 21 pictures)
As always, Bill, your research is impressive, as is your devotion to this hobby. I must admit, though, that I find the more present-day puzzles and their backstories to be the most engaging. Among the Chad Valley productions, I did like best "Royal Route to the West." I could see myself enjoying assembling and owning that one. I was also surprised by how large the Chad Valley operation became— that photo of their factory was something else! Thanks for your work.
