My father bought this puzzle in 1976. He’s the one who got Mark saying Sacramento at age 2, when you’d ask him “what’s the capital of California?”
This summer Mark took his family to see ten more state capitals/ capitols.
The handcrafted wood puzzle was missing New York and Lake Ontario. For years! Missing puzzle pieces is such a bummer. I’m not sure why I waited so long to see if I could get replacements.
Wk, I just received the hand cut replacement pieces and although the wood is a bit thinner these days and the color brighter, it is wonderful to have the puzzle complete again.
Besides New York is my birth state (yes, I grew up in the Garden State- New Joisey)
Thank you Puzzle People Michael and Pat Smith of Philo, California for completing the puzzle once again, 40 years later.
this is so sweet! 🙂 Completed after 40 long years!
Excellent! Always good to find the missing pieces!
Yes it feels good. Thanks Toni.
How lovely to have it intact again. Is that really how New Jersey is pronounced?
It shouldn’t be… It’s a cartoon exaggeration of the accent
Love this puzzle! I just added it to C’s gift wishlist. 🙂
Tiny pieces still but a great company
I always say New Jersey they was you wrote it, in my head!
Love this puzzle, Ruth. It would look good hanging on a wall.
