The R-UNC Beich Jig-Saw Puzzle Candy set was issued by the Paul F. Beich Company of Bloomington and Chicago. The cards were actually small puzzles measuring about 2" high by 3" wide or so consisting of 12-20 pieces. There is a second type of puzzle that is larger measuring 3.5" tall by about 5" wide. The Type 2 puzzles have 25-30 pieces typically with some of the pieces spelling "BEICHS CANDIES" within the field of the puzzle. The only wrapper that we have seen would have been for the Type 1 smaller cards. The graphics on the puzzle give it a 3D look so it's not known if there was a viewer to go with the puzzle or what the setup was.
This lot is for a single R-UNC Beich Type 2 (larger) Jig Saw Puzzle featuring Paul Revere's ride. The puzzle is in VGEX to EX condition. A reverse image graphic is shown to illustrate the letters within the field of the puzzle.
