    Description

    Antique Handcut Jigsaw Puzzle.
    This little puzzle was a sleeper. It came in a plain brown box. It was an unexpected surprise.
    The box and puzzle company are from Oklahoma City but the puzzle is in the correct box.
    It has fewer than the 250 pieces. One piece is missing. It has a piece, but it is the incorrect one.
    It measures approx. 11". I forgot to get the full measurement before I tore it apart but I measured the lid that I assembled it on.
    This is not an interlocking puzzle in the middle. It takes a little patience but it is well worth it.
    Please see photos, they are part of the description.
    Condition is "Used".
    ROLF ARMSTRONG:
    Often referred to as "the father of the calendar girl,"
    Rolf Armstrong
    's use of pastels and bold color choices to create lasting images of beautiful women has given him the reputation as one of the all-time great pin-up artists.
    Armstrong's first cover was for
    Judge
    magazine in 1912. Subsequently, he painted covers for such periodicals as
    Pictorial Review
    ,
    Screenland
    ,
    College Humor
    ,
    Puck
    ,
    Metropolitan
    ,
    Photoplay
    ,
    Life
    , and
    The Saturday Evening Post
    . In 1919, Brown & Bigelow hired Armstrong to illustrate their calendars. Calendars featuring images of his models became some of the company's highest sellers. Armstrong also illustrated product advertisements for Oneida Silverware, Hires Root Beer, Kist Beverages, Nehi Soda, and Old Gold Cigarettes.
    The artist insisted on using live models for his portrait paintings, as when Boris Karloff posed in character on the set of the film
    Frankenstein
    (1931) or with his good friend James Cagney on the set of
    Mr. Roberts
    (1955). Armstrong's career flourished until his death in 1960.
