Catalogue information
A game of your coal man. Published by the Solid Fuels Foundation - The Hague. The box contains an insert with the rules of the contest and an answer card. One had to count the chimneys and also make a rhyme of two lines consisting of 2 x 12 words. The reply card could be sent in until October 31, 1971, which means that the puzzle can be dated precisely. After the large gas bubble in Slochteren was found in 1959, it was decided that everyone had to switch to natural gas. Safer and cleaner. As a result, the coal merchants and coal farmers were cornered and lost their customers. As a last resort, this jigsaw puzzle was published in which the cosiness of coal was especially emphasized.
