J.H. Colton’s Series of Dissected Maps. North America. South America. Europe. United States. Asia. Africa. In Two Sizes
J.H. Colton was from New York.
This is the map of the United States.
This Colton puzzle map uses the map of the United States that first appeared in Colton’s Cabinet Atlas of 1859, and was later used in Colton’s School Atlas of 1864 and American School Quarto Geography of 1865. The puzzle itself is undated, but the map is copyrighted in 1860. (I’ve researched this to be correct, if this is wrong would you please let me know.)
With this puzzle there is 32 peices. It looks like 3 pieces are missing, but they are the small pieces. (Please look at the pictures for more detail.) Box measures 6.5″ x 5.5″.
This is currently for sale on Ebay-I am selling for a client of mine. But if you’re interested you’d better look fast…it’ll be going going gone soon. This is a rare puzzle indeed!
