GRANT PUZZLE.

Metal wire "puzzle" on original card, circa 1870's. 3 1/2 x 4 1/4" and in excellent condition throughout. The object was to "...remove the Heart free without opening or bending any Wire." In the days when truth in advertising was rather lax, this puzzle makes the bold claim that it "...has been used in the Family of General Grant, and his verdict was that it impressed him as the most Unique Puzzle he had seen." Very unusual, the first we've seen.
