SPEAKING PUZZLE BOX

  • Used
MOVEABLE. SPEAKING PUZZLE BOX. No pub. information, circa 1880. This is a Victorian cube puzzle in the original box - but this puzzle is different. Each of the 6 cubes makes a different sound when a string is pulled. In this puzzle, one of the cubes is defective, missing the string. The box is very large, measuring 16 1/2" wide x 11 3/4 " deep and 6 " high - 2 small splits on cover else near fine condition with metal clasps. The box is covered with printed chromolithographed paper and the top of the box features a brightly colored rooster with chickens on the farm. Inside the box are six large cubes - each is 5" on a side. Like other cube puzzles of the era, the child can make 6 different scenes. Unlike any other puzzle, EACH OF THE CUBES MAKES A DIFFERENT SOUND when the string on each of the cubes is pulled. Laid-in are the six original large chromolithogrphed scenes that the child uses as guide to assmble the puzzles (the plate on the cover is the sixth scene). This is a glorious puzzle, extraordinarily rare and discounted greatly due to the one defective cube.

Description:
New York:: Benjamin Rinehart,, 2021.. 5 x 5 x 3"rotating ring. Digital prints. Bristol board. Rotating images pose the question about gender - Is she a boy? Is she a girl? Benjamin Rinehart: "After not cutting my son's hair for nearly two years, he is more often called a girl than a boy. Why gender is used by society to validate a toddler's role in this world is vexing. After teaching kids at all ages over the years, I have found that specific and stereotypical gender roles are extremely limiting. Shouldn't it be that each child is allowed to decide for themselves in a natural and evolutionary way about their gender?
