Two charming circular metal puzzles with colorful, naive graphics typical of the 1930s and 50s. The first depicts a stylized frog in a marsh setting, the second a circus scene with sea lions juggling balls , led by a trainer under a big top. Each scene is protected by a glass panel beneath which small metal balls must be placed in printed cavities. On the reverse side, a round mirror integrates the puzzle into the tradition of hybrid toys that are both playful and practical. Sold individually.
