Hi: I'm Verl Cook - a Jigsaw Puzzle Collector

I'm an avid jigsaw puzzle collector and specialize in wwii and depression era puzzles.

 I grew up in Remus, Michigan during World War II and solving jigsaw puzzles was one of my favorite pastimes. My mother and I constantly had a jigsaw puzzle on a cardtable. Two of my favorite jigsaw puzzles that I remember were both Jaymar cardboard puzzles. One was from a set of 4 Wild West Puzzles called "Custer's Last Stand" and the other was a Jaymar Hobby wwii puzzle called "P-51 Mustang". They were put together so many times that eventually they were both tossed in the garbage can because they had too many pieces missing. I searched for a long time, but I found both puzzles complete and they are now two of my favorite puzzles in my collection. I got away from puzzles while I was going to college, getting married and raising a family. However, about 15 years ago, I found some old puzzles at a Midland flea market, purchased them and have been an addict ever since. I currently own over 300 wwii puzzles including several Tuco's, Perfect Picture, Wilkie, Jaymar, Pressman, Whitman and Hart puzzles, along with others. I also actively collect several depression era puzzle series such as "Jig of the Week", "Every Week", "Picture Puzzle Weekly", "Muddle", "See America First", and "Jiggety Jig" puzzles. I recently had about 60 wwii puzzles displayed at the Midland Center For The Arts Museum for about 4 months. I love the hobby and would be more than willing to share stories or information to anyone interested. Please feel free to contact me. (telephone (989) 631-0317
