| Notes | The Puzzle of Europe - Put EuropeTogether Again, WW2 This puzzle proudly announced that it was totally made in New Zealand - "Devised, drawn, printed and cut in New Zealand, using cardboard and printing inks made in New Zealand". With restrictions on goods that could be shipped between Europe and New Zealand, local production of many goods became a necessity. Advertised in July 1943 by Whitcombe and Tombs at the price of 4-11d. Another puzzle advertised at the same time was a jigsaw map of Britain, heralded as "One Puzzle No Nazi Can Solve!
