Vancouver (1961)

Another vintage Ravensburger jigsaw puzzle taken from the "World Wide Serie"
 - assembled during a marathon within 2 hours and 15 minutes

The old jigsaw puzzles by Ravensburger from the 1960ies to the 1980ies are characterized by a compelling definition of sharpness, an intersting cut with many wave-cut pieces and a excellent fitting accuracy. New Ravensburger jigsaw puzzles may promote a "soft click" technology, but if you ever assambled an older one, you know what I mean :-) If you are an enthusiast and you should be able to get one, just try it.

Finished 3rd February 2017 - Krteček (little mole) + updated 4th Feb.

Today I assemled 8 cute finger exercises with pictures of the "Little Mole".
It's a cartoon character created by Zdenek Miler, a czech cartoonist and artist, in 1956.
I watched the small cartoons as a child on TV - they were shown in the highly acclaimed German series "Die Sendung mit der Maus" (the show with the mouse).

I found the website littlemole.cz where you may watch all videos legally

When Ravensburger edited those finger exercises in 2015 with just 54 pieces each, 
I had to own them! :-)
