The Tavern Puzzle evolved from reproductions of hand-forged artifacts that Dennis Sucilsky came across while researching architectural hardware. As a blacksmith, Dennis was able to use his knowledge of iron-working and tool making for production of metal puzzles.
The earliest Tavern Puzzles® are based on designs that are centuries old. New styles are added on a regular basis; some of these are original designs, others are new versions of classics.
The purpose of any puzzle is to provide a challenge, entertainment, and fun. This collection does all three, on several different levels.
Dennis Sucilsky is a museum trained, traditional blacksmith. His speciality is 18th and 19th century architectural hardware. In 1980, Dennis began production of metal puzzles. Incorporating both traditional and original designs, the Tavern Puzzle® Collection emerged.
The Tavern Puzzles® trademark assures you of quality, value, and service.
