Metal Puzzles: International Card Company, Lucky Horse Shoe Puzzle
Single boxed puzzle from between 1903 and 1919

	Single puzzle box from the latter part of the above period. The simple (poorly) blue printed white box is 50mm x 90mm x 14mm (h x w x d). It is printed "Lucky Horse Shoe Puzzle 6d. each." Six "d" was six old pence, equivalent to 2½ pence in today's money. A thinner variation on this puzzle is still used in modern sets.

		Well made stainless steel puzzle with three obvious horse shoe shapes. Modern versions replace the middle shoe with a ring.
		Type 4: Twisted manoeuvre. Solution is shown in a flimsy black printed white piece of paper approximately 172mm x 66mm and is clearly of French original as it is entitled "Déposé". Also has the credit "IMP G Mendel 40. R.N. D de Nazareth Paris"
