Confederate Colonel John Pemberton, who was wounded in the American Civil War and became addicted to morphine, began a quest to find a substitute for the problematic drug. The prototype Coca-Cola recipe was formulated. Company founder Asa Candler initiated the veil of secrecy that surrounds the formula in 1891 as a publicity, marketing, and intellectual property protection strategy. While several recipes, each purporting to be the authentic formula, have been published, the company maintains that the actual formula remains a secret, known only to a very few select (and anonymous) employees.

Development process of 2 Silhouette jigsaw puzzles - updated 4th June 2017 - completed


Sometimes weird things happen :-)
I received the left (new) box as a present from my friends last year. And I realized a few days ago that I already own this shaped puzzle. Which means: I need to know if the cut of both is identical, if the quality is similar and if the mentioned height (1,05m / 1,1 m) is correct.

Yesterday I started assembling the Eiffeltower in the blue box.... which includes whimsies, as well.

Here we go:


an Eiffel Tower Whimsie made of nine pieces
