Piecing together the history of jigsaw puzzles

o

Piece Time Puzzles’ website is down. No wonder why. What a great local business to support, and an awesome gift idea! I hope they can hire more staff soon :)

I ❤️ Mo Rocca!

I collect jigsaw puzzles, thanks Mo

I love puzzles but since I have nosy cats I play them on my cellphone.

I got many puzzles I guess it's time to do one now.

The last puzzle I pieced was in 2003. Butterflies. And the cat ate the missing piece. I framed it anyway. Misplaced over the years.

Website is down. Guess a lot more people saw this than I expected.

We need to try and solve this COVID-19 puzzle.

Aww, poor broads.

Puzzles were awesome when I was younger!!! My dad always bought them for my brother and I. But as a family we would piece them together. GOOD TIMES!!! And WW II aircraft models.

Owls are supposedly good luck, but they were never allowed in many Italian homes that I know of. Superstition ...

Oh Mo!!! You handsome devil.....& sexy too!!! Lol

Great piece! My dad made us puzzles of wood when we were kids with his jigsaw. We love to do 3D puzzles.

Been to piece time puzzles, it's awesome

I like this reporter, he’s got personality!

I have cats, so no puzzles for me. 🧐

Renting jigsaw puzzles? I'm an ebay seller and sold several puzzles during the lockdown.

I bought a used puzzle from a thrift store that I never put together. I sold it in ebay. The buyer put it together then said a piece was missing a returned it. I guess they thought I was running a rent-a-puzzle business.

Great to see the lovely anne williams still going strong, wooden puzzles personified!! I can highly recomend her book (shown here). I am taking advantage of my woodies to the max at the moment. If you hav'nt tried a wooden puzzle...go for it!! They are a whole different experience to a card-stock one. Much more tactile, in some ways trickier and, well... satisfying

How to pass time during the plandemic

I've rediscovered my old love of jigsaw puzzles. I put shipping tape neatly on when finished, front and back. It's my way of laminating them. I can NOT bring myself to take them apart again. I've tried puzzle glue before but it made the puzzle curl. I know there are puzzle frames somewhere out there, too.

I love jigsaw puzzles! I find it relaxing to put them together. My oldest one is from 1934. It's a illustration of Waikiki Beach without the future hotels.

omg i love this!!!

I don’t have any room to do puzzles. Probably wouldn’t do them anyway? I want to start buying the wooden puzzles for gifts but are they expensive!! But I might do it anyway. They look pretty cool. Be something different.

I have been a huge puzzler as of recent and encourage anyone to try it out. Its a great way to pass the time and keeps your mind active.

Puzzlingly is an art form and also relaxing. Keep puzzlingly

BREANNA CORONA was an 1830 saloon bartender at THE ABALONE SALOON --- and she loved jigsaw puzzles.

Love the concept, look and feel of art crystal puzzles, but wish the subject matter would vary more! Not a fan of the weird little Japanese creatures.

Mo Racca is amazing; I love the story of Jigsaw Puzzles. He should definitely be amazing on CBS Puzzle Day.

I'm only 29 years old and this definitely Entertains me very much so

I went and searched for the Piece Time Puzzle store. Looks like they have shut down operations. Would have loved to get one customised
