Vintage 1932 or 33 (?)
Interlocking
Jig Saw Puzzle of PAT CARAWAY
with the
Buffalo Bisons
11" X 14" Puzzle with Over 200 Pieces

OK, this puzzle is missing 1 piece, but anyone creative with Photoshop could easily create a piece to fit and blend in fine.
I couldn't find anything out about this puzzle on the web, but it looks like Pat Caraway played in the minors for a couple of years, then went to the Chicago White Sox for their 1930, 31 and part of 32 seasons, he then went back to the minors to play with the Buffalo Bisons (International League) for the last half of 1932 and 33 seasons, finally playing for Tulsa & San Antonio in 1934.
The puzzle is numbered as it was used for a drawing for Buffalo Baseball Club give-away game tickets in either 32 or 33 (?), the details are on the back of the box-top. This would look nice matted-and-framed with the box-top below.
Puzzle is actually in VERY GOOD CONDITIION, except for the missing piece. The box-top is just that, the very top of the box (sides missing), but it shows all the info and on the back are the details for the give-away... $27.00
