Victory Wooden Jigsaw 350pc Conwy Castle IMG_0718

            One of my first vintage jigsaws, bought to remember a North Wales holiday taken in around this time.
The 1975 jigsaw, showing the bridges of Conwy Castle in North Wales. The jigsaw was complete apart from two missing or partly missing knobs.

Victory Popular Series, No 7060, 16x12in 350pc, made by G J Hayter & Co, Bournemouth, then a subsidiary of J W Spear & Sons Ltd. The box doesn't identify the castle, but the image is copyright 1975. We visited in 1978, travelling along the N-Wales railway line from a base in Llandudno - and probably looked very like the young tourists in the image!

When I had leisure to study the jigsaw I beagan to recognise patterns in the organisation of the cut - a central cut divided it into two halves from which rows were cut off in regular repeating patterns.
