The Brands that Built Britain | 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle | Vintage Jigsaw Puzzle | Sustainable Puzzle for Adults | Premium 100% Recycled Board | Great Gift for Adults | Gibsons Games

This was a challenging but fascinating jigsaw which rated high on the entertainment scale. Excellent quality pieces with vivid detail and a good poster reference provided in a sturdy box.

Bought this jigsaw for my mother as part of her birthday present and she was very happy, my parents thought they would do it at some point during the winter, then Covid came along and out came the jigsaw and they adored it. It occupied a good week or so of their time and they were thrilled with the quality of the image and how sturdy the pieces were and how well it fitted together. After lockdown They will pass it to us and we will attempt it. They are looking out for more from this company as they said it is superior to other jigsaws they have tried

My family hadn’t done a jigsaw puzzle in years so decided to do something low-tech over the holidays. We loved it. Just the right level of challenge for adults. Was very impressed that there was no plastic used in the packaging, good weight to the pieces, and proud to support UK/EU company and manufacturing. Just ordered another one.

The current main stock image above features on the reverse of the box in a smaller format ~ 25 cm x 17.75 cm ~ and, although accurate to the finished jigsaw in terms of the products along the edges, can be a bit tricky to work from regarding the smaller detail, especially in poor light, in my experience.The current 2nd image is the box front.Harder than it looks (especially the various bottles); this is one of those classic ‘one-more-piece-before-tea’ jigsaws that is VERY hard to stop doing. In this case, a 'Father’s Day' present finished in well under 2 days!The finished jigsaw measures around 68 cm x 49 cm and fits comfortably onto my old 'PortaPuzzle'.ooOoo✤ GIBSONS (of Sutton, Surrey)✤ 1000-PIECE JIGSAW✤ ‘THE BRANDS THAT BUILT BRITAIN’✤ PRODUCT REF: G7073‘Made in the UK’The back of the box includes details related to ‘The Brands That Built Britain’, including:📝 ‘For the past 50 years, Robert Opie has been finding the pieces that make up the giant jigsaw of British social history. His collection is on display at the Museum of Brands in London (website address), where the displays give a sense of evolving culture and lifestyle since Victorian times...’ooOooA cellophane-sealed cardboard box, measuring around 41 cm x 29 cm x 5 cm deep, opens to 1000 jigsaw pieces, safely together in a factory sealed plastic-type bag.If I am brutally honest, I was disappointed that there were none of my favourite ‘4-prongs’ dotted around in this particular jigsaw, but there is still a reasonable variety (last image refers) of the usual high quality, well-fitting pieces from Gibsons.The finished product does have that ‘jigsaw’ look, so perhaps not one to glue & display, IMO.

Worth Completing

Bought as a present and he really enjoyed doing this one and looking back at all the brands from his childhood

Bought as a present, the recipient was very happy with it.Back of the box has some useful information about some of the products in the picture.I’m happy to recommend.

Not finished yet but, so far, this has been very enjoyable (and quite testing).
