Summary
A puzzle with a hardboard and plywood base, with cut out shapes, into which chunky cut out sections of the duck pond scene, made of brightly painted plywood, fit. The sections are the duck pond, bullrushes, stones, and trees on a hill with a tractor and children with fishing nets. The puzzle has eight pieces but is kept whole by being shrink-wrapped in transparent plastic.
