Schoolboy's Own Exhibition-Souvenir

Although the manufacturer of this c1933/34, 30 piece promotional plywood jigsaw puzzle is not advertised on the packaging, its cutting style is highly reminiscent of that of the RACO Intalok Zig-Zag puzzles of the same era, so I suspect that they were commissioned to make them for G.B. Equipment Ltd as souvenirs for the Schoolboy's Own Exhibition at White City in West London.
The fully interlocking puzzle came in a tray style box complete with double sided entry form for a Free Essay Competition with prizes of: 1st-A Bush British Radio Receiver; 2nd-A British-made Bicycle; 3rd-A working model of the famous Flying Scot Locomotive; and in addition, a complete G.B.E. 16mm. classroom talkie apparatus will be presented to the School to which the First Prize-winning boy attends.
