[PUZZLES]. [WWI]. The Lion Vs. The Eagle Puzzle. London: Will Goldston Ltd., 1914. Printed paper and string puzzle that challenges the user to ?remove the Kaiser" from the strung-together pieces without tearing them. Together with a form letter from the manufacturer offering the puzzle at wholesale prices (?This novelty is sure to appeal to the masses, and the price is withing the reach of all."), and an original illustrated counter display card (quite tattered).
