Contempo "Clown Montage" - Vintage 1991


This Contempo 500pc puzzle is vintage, dated 1991.  It's titled "Clown Montage."  I picked it up at a thrift shop for just a couple bucks and couldn't be more pleased with my find. It's complete!  Given that it's over 25 years old, there were a few pieces that needed a bit of repair to keep the cardboard layers from splitting.  But the repair was easier work than the puzzle.  The box is in great shape, aside from the tape used at the thrift shop to assure the puzzle stayed whole.  Took me a couple months to carve out the time to get to this, but once I did, I started on a Sunday afternoon and finished it by Monday morning.  As a brand, Contempo is quality, with thick pieces and a tight fit.  I loved the vintage feel to the design itself as well - the colors are vaguely 70s and the pop notion fits right in with that theme.
