thingiverse

R. J. C. Collins Puzzle, patented in 1898. Currently sold as "Cast Cricket Puzzle". Puzzle consists of cricket bats in propeller shape, plus wicket.and bails. Objective is to insert the bats into the wicket such that three bats are to one side and three bats are to the other, as shown in the photo. There are two different ways to do this! Since this puzzle is plastic instead of steel, it's possible to bend the wickets to remove the bats - but that's cheating! Puzzle can be worked without forcing anything. Model was created directly from original patent. Print at 50% size. For most printers, you'll need support to print the bats.
