I would like to add a puzzle of which I cannot determine the brand. The image on the box has no logo or name. On the side it says' Serie H.K. 520 'Made in Holland. Above it is a logo from which HK can be extracted with some imagination.

Who knows where the letters H.K. stand for?

Dear Metalfigures,

Could be, but I guess not. It will be short for puzzle publisher. As W.H. 520 stands for White Horse 520 pieces.

Anyone else an idea?

Hard guessing. As long as you don't add it we don't know which image is on the puzzle and off which period he dates from.

Dogs and Cats? Dutch Artists? Happy Kids? Historical Costume?

And does the puzzle have 520 pieces or not?

Dear Book Warehouse,

I have now included 2 puzzles under the manufacturer name HK. On closer inspection the letters BCB appear on the front of the box. The color scheme 520 in red and the word puzzle in green, on the side of the box is the same color scheme as used by White Horse.

The puzzles have 520 pieces.

Sorry, pictures don't help either, no idea. The typography on the side is indeed completely identical to that of White Horse

Since there is a circle around 3 and there is a Swiss flag hanging on the stern I would think that 6500037 is the "Lucerne".

@ Boekenmagazijn: Thank you for your input and the correct comment about the incorrect title. I have now adjusted it.

@ Fazerco: it does indeed say made in Holland. Thanks for the link. The information there does give some guidance with: Brettspiele & amp; Co. That could explain 2 of the 3 letters on the front. But that can also be a mere coincidence. There is a good chance that this is indeed 1 of the other 3 puzzles from this series.

@ allen: It is a blow in the air, but it could represent Holland Kolibrie (Klaus).
