History & Trivia
Burr Puzzles, are a variety of interlocking, assembly puzzles – consisting of engraved, notched sticks that slide together to make a 3D symmetrical unit.
The first known references to a Burr Puzzle was in 1803, when it was published in a toy catalog. At that time these puzzles were termed as “Chinese” or “Oriental” knots – as they were believed to have been invented in China. However it is far more likely that they were made in Germany.
It wasn't until 1928 that Burr Puzzles first caught widespread attention. A Metagrobologist, Edwin Wyatt, featured the Burr Puzzle in his famous book “Puzzles in Wood” – Mr Wyatt named the puzzle after the Burr seed, which he felt it resembled.
