Unlike conventional puzzles, the enigmatic creation of the First Cross defies expectations at every turn. Disassembling it poses a formidable challenge, yet the true test lies in the intricate process of reassembly. Even with a glimpse into the inner workings of its components, the solution remains elusive, beckoning enthusiasts to unravel its secrets. Crafted in the 1980s by the innovative Dutch designer, Wil Strijbos, the aluminum cross stands as the inaugural enigma in his distinguished collection. Its allure and ingenuity remain undiminished, a testament to Strijbos's timeless design that has endured for nearly four decades. Impeccably fashioned from precision-machined polished aluminum, the puzzle exemplifies the pinnacle of craftsmanship. Adorned with Wil's distinctive signature, each piece is a tangible testament to its authentic origin. In this latest production run, the inclusion of brass end pins sets it apart, a departure from the steel pins that characterized earlier iterations of Strijbos's perplexing creation.Warning: Choking Hazard – Small Parts.
