I found this puzzle of the Lookout Studio at the Grand Canyon recently. The box and puzzle had seen better days. There's no copyright date, but the other puzzles in this series lacked dates also.
This picture was a popular one for puzzles, but I haven't been able to find a postcard which used it.
My family visited the Canyon back in 2009, and this building is now largely a souvenir shop. It was built 97 years ago, mostly out of native rock and wood to blend into the environment. When my family was there (and apparently for a large part of the tourist season) condors were all over the place here.
I don't have any other pictures of this particular puzzle, just a scan of the box. Now it resides in my mother's house. The best thing about this is that, at some point, someone obviously decided that this puzzle, used, was worth $5.00 and possibly some change. And they decided the best way to set that value was writing in permanent marker directly on the box.
