PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Puzzle or Game.
I ANNIE STEWART of Waverley 41 Leyland Road Southport do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
My invention relates to a new or improved puzzle or game and consists in placing-
within a box of any suitable size or shape provided with a glass lid a model, or
portrait, of any person, or animal, from which the eyes and nose have been detached,
the object being to get them in their respective positions by tapping or tilting the
box. The face of any person or animal may be used but I prefer to adopt the face
of some well known person such as a Member of Parliament or a Member of the
Royal Family. These faces may consist of a portrait or print pasted to a cord and
secured to the bottom of the box and painted or not as desired, or they may consist
of casts of plaster, rubber, paper-pulp, papier-maché or other suitable material with
the various parts standing out in relief. I may in some cases use two or more
faces to afford additional interest at the same time making the puzzle more difficult.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Puzzle or Game.
I ANNIE STEWART of Waverley 41 Leyland Road Southport, no calling, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
My invention relates to a new or improved puzzle or game and consists in placing
within a box a portrait or print from which the nose and eyes have been detached,
the object of the puzzle being to replace them in their respective positions by
tapping or tilting the box.
In carrying my invention into practice I take a box of any suitable shape or size
provided with a glass lid. Within this box and at the bottom of the same is placed
a portrait or print of any person or animal which is pasted to a piece of cardboard
or other suitable material in order to render the same rigid. The nose and eyes
are detached and are free to move about at the bottom of the box, and can be made
to regain their respective positions by tapping or tilting the box at various angles
as before described, the portraits or prints may be painted or not as desired, or I
may use instead of portraits, casts of plaster or other suitable composition the parts
standing out in relief, and painted and ornamented or not as desired. The portrait
or print of any person, bird, or animal may be used but I prefer to adopt the face
of some celebrity such as, a Member of the Royal Family, a Peer, a Member of
Parliament, or other well known persons, and in some cases I may place two or
more faces within the same box to afford additional interest at the same time
making the puzzle more difficult.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
(1.) The new or improved puzzle or game which consists in placing within a box,
a portrait, print, or cast of any person, animal, from which the eyes and nose have

page_text: been detached, and which may be made to regain their respective positions by
tapping or tilting the box as herein described.
(2.) The new or improved puzzle or game arranged, constructed and operating
as herein described.
