Founded in 1975, family-owned Tucker-Jones House makes the handcrafted Tavern Puzzle Collection, mechanical metal puzzles forged and assembled in the USA. Dennis Sucilsky, a museum-trained traditional blacksmith known for 18th- and 19th-century architectural hardware, began producing the puzzles in 1980 from centuries-old designs as well as his own originals.
PAR PuzzlesSince 1932, PAR Puzzles has been hand-cutting one-of-a-kind wooden jigsaw puzzles in its New York studio, often designing custom puzzles from customers’ photographs or favorite artwork. John and Justin Madden now carry forward the distinctive style developed by founders John Henriques and Frank Ware, including hand-drawn silhouette pieces that date to the 1930s and 1950s. Every puzzle arrives in a pictureless box and includes a “par time,” turning the finished image into both a surprise and a challenge.CORAM, NY
