The picture below shows a larger view of this Boxed Wooden Franco American Novelty Company The Flying Puzzle Slide Puzzle. The picture shows the box cover and the wooden slide puzzle inside the box. The puzzle ins not dated, but it is believed to be from the 1920s. It was distributed by The Franco American Novelty Company of New York City, New York. This game puzzle may have been mailed away for from the company’s catalog or purchased from a novelty or five and dime store. There are fourteen wooden pieces with a word on each inside. The instructions are on the cover. Basically you would slide pieces around until the square “PLANE” piece goes from the “NEW YORK” space (top left corner) to the “PARIS” space (lower right corner). The box cover pictures the puzzle, an early airplane, with a comic character pilot, stars, a planet, and two comic character men trying to do the puzzle. The printing on the box, and the wooden pieces, read as follows:

THE FLYING PUZZLE
KEEPS YOU UP IN THE AIR!
NEW YORK - PARIS
IT CAN BE DONE – BUT TRY AND DO IT
THE HAZARDS AND THE PERILS
CANNOT BE REMOVED FROM THE BOX.

To judge the sizes the small cardboard box measures about 4-3/4'' x 4'' x 1/2''. It appears to be in good used condition with wear from handling as pictured. The box cover has a loos top edge piece and a missing right edge piece. Someone had cut a new right edge cardboard piece. It had not been attached, but it is included.
