You get all three different for $2.00 (that's 67¢ each). Click the picture to see a large detailed image. These are vintage metal puzzles in parchment paper packets marked "Puzzle-Ring" "Made in Japan". They have an illustration of a hand doing the puzzle. Inside is a thick metal wire puzzle. You will get three different puzzle types each in it's own package (The one pictured is a triangle puzzle, the other two are knots and loops). All three come in packages like the one shown with an illustration of the specific type. These were sold in vending capsules, and showed up in Cracker Jack boxes back in the 1950s. They are classic puzzle toys from that time period. The parchment packages are wrinkled up from sitting so long. The toys inside are perfect. We found these in remote storage at an old store up in northern Ohio.
