Cowboy's Hobble · Puzzle Master · Superhero Statue Collections

  A 40 year old classic, the Cowboys Hobble is a reminder of how simplicity in a puzzles design can be mistaken by easiness. Made from nickel plated wire and rope, this grueling puzzle will challenge your wits as you try to remove the ring from the string. To make matters worse, the bead is larger than the rings width and it cant go past the wire loop. Be careful not to make unnecessary knots. Designed by James Dalgety in 1971, who owns one of the largest mechanical puzzle collections in the world. Also known as The Manacle and The Ball and Chain, as marketed by Pentangle in 1972 and 1974 respectively. Winner of the London Design Centre Award in the 1970s. From our PuzzleMaster Wire Puzzle Collection.
