Vintage Toys: Slide Puzzles

Decades before Rubic's Cube, there was the Magic 15 number slide puzzle that captivated young and old. Roalex Manufacturing rewrote the book when they licensed popular television and movie characters for their offerings in this genre. My memories of getting these at the Howard Johnson gift shops along the Ohio and Pennsylvania Turnpikes is an lifelong memory. Unless otherwise indicated, paper backing sheets are reproductions in this board
