All Puzzles canbe simple, and quite ...gently, TUGGED - PULLED - WIGGLED "AP-ART"("Sculpture That Comes Apart").

STAR-ART, Sculpture That Comes Apart, Geo-Logic Puzzles, by S.T.Coffin for Nylon ProductsCorporation, Clinton, Mass. 01510, made in 1972 “ARIES”: ARIES, the RAM-bunctiousGeo-Logic Puzzle. ARIESis the constellation named after the RAM of the Golden Fleece, and First Signof The Zodiac. Find ARIES' two rams-head profiles? ARIES' shape also suggestsan astronaut's module (several ARIES can be stacked together in several wayswhich are also rocket-like). Since "astronaut" comes from Jason, theArgonaut, who sought the RAM, don't let this Geo-Logic Puzzle fleece you. Coolsharp wits and astronaut dexterity will master ARIES RAM-bunctious qualitiesevery time. (Some of the time?). Trouble can start as you begin to look forways to take ARIES apart -- it can "self-destruct" into 6 just-alikeasteroidal pieces, leaving no re-joining clues. If it does not, tug gently withopposed thumb-and-fingertip pairs at individual pieces of ARIES'"neck" and, say, "nose" or either "horn". Ifnothing gives, shift your grip -- either hand -- to another piece. When youfeel loosening, PULL. RAM-bunctious! If you still have hold of a piece or two, fine. But ARIES, like all five Geo-Logic Puzzles, has no "key piece";it has 6. These unique pieces may be laid out flat in some interestingpatterns, but that doesn't restore ARIES, the RAM. “NOVA”: the mysteriously beautifulbut infuriatingly changeable Geo-Logic Puzzle. Not for children! NOVAis the subtle, serenely sculptured but excessively changeable Geo-Logic Puzzle.Like the strange starts of the same name, NOVA can be made to expand apart byslow wiggling tugging at any two (of six) opposite pieces. (It takes carefullooking to find those). Unique among all known puzzles, the 6geometrically-identical NOVA pieces will first all move away from one anotheruniformly; then, at an unpredictable "critical point", ERUPT! Justlike celestial NOVAE, which expand, then erupt, unpredictably. “TAURI”: the ILLUSION OF SPINNING Geo-Logic Puzzle, forADULTS of all ages. TAURIis named for the youngest class of stars -- T-TAURI -- whose erratic changes inbrightness give the illusion of spinning. After much use, your TAURI can bespun apart; for now, tug gently at any two pairs of opposite "tunnelends". Oops! Make your head spin? Those 6 identically-shaped pieces nowneed an astronaut's extra-dimensional thinking and cool dexterity to coax themback into structured order.http://www.puzzlegrail.com/puzzles_part3.html#Skor-MorGeo-Logic Puzzles Thephysical size bagged is:Length:6”Height:3”Width: 6” (Alldimensions are close approximation)Weight(Unpacked): 1 1/2 lbs approximate ByBidding, You hereby agree to the terms and conditions as set forth below..
