The "Victory" Jigsaw Puzzles : Illustrations by George Peace Micklewright . c1950
Animal scenes
Childhood memories as we re-discovered these. The "Victory" jigsaw puzzles were made by the Bournemouth company of G J Hayter who manufactured many series of such puzzles from c1920 until 1970 when they were acquired by the rival games manufacturer Spears. Hayter's made great play of these being 'proper' wooden piece jigsaws and they are from the children's range.

West Bromwich born Micklewright (1893-1951), who as a Quaker was a conscientious objector in WW1, is probably best remembered as the artist illustrator of many pot-boiling cheap novels of the 1920s and '30s, and latterly the jacket illustrations of Black Beauty books. 16 pieces. Puzzle measures 8" x 8" 8 different scenes. Some wear from happy use! Please see pics for detail.

I am an avid collector of individual, unusual and interesting pieces of vintage and antique collectibles, sourced from auctions and antique events. I am particularly interested in rare figurines, Italian ceramics and glass, studio pottery, small pieces of furniture, brass instruments, cosmetic compacts, beaded purses etc. Favourite makers Minton, Beswick, Poole, Coalport, Wedgwood and Royal Doulton amongst many others. I do not have a website, but sell mainly through Etsy and eBay. I currently have a wide range of over 300 items for sale, with many ‘followers’ and regular customers. I live in a 16th Century cottage in the beautiful Wye Valley – perfect surroundings to cultivate my interest in all things vintage and antique. I am happy to supply more detailed photographs of the items for sale or to source ‘wanted’ pieces.
