Description: 

Interlocking puzzle we commissioned Roland Chesley, Buckfield, ME to cut for us in 1971.  Image is copy of a map Geradus Mercator (1512-1594) published in his famous "The Mercator Atlas".  Chesley packaged his finished puzzles in a plastic bag with a form label filled in with information on the puzzle written by his wife.  I would "scrounge up" boxes sized for the puzzle and attach its label.  Thus, the box was "original" in a sense.
