The
"Jumble-Fits" animal puzzle first appeared in 1964 as a
frame-tray puzzle.
"Figments" followed in 1965 and both were
packaged without borders and in
plastic boxes. The "Amazing
Discovery of Alec Zandimer Plerp", created in
1967 during the
Cadaco years, was later repackaged and retitled "Smart
People's
Story Puzzle". An audio story record was originally
included.
The
Cadaco company began marketing Cluster Puzzles in late
1965. The "Sports",
"Make-Up", "Doodles" & "Whimsies" titles
appeared in 1966. The "Amazing
Discovery..." in 1967.
