Abstract This specification discloses a combination jigsaw puzzle and container set comprising a rectangular board having a flange upstanding from the upper face thereof and which flange has a shape corresponding to the contour of the continental United States of America and the Great Lakes, with the exception of Alaska, together with a set of glass containers, each of which comprises flat top and bottom walls and a side wall having a configuration corresponding to the shape of one of the 48 states or a Great Lake. Outstanding from the side wall of each such container is a neck on which is fitted a removable closure. Most of these containers also are formed with a recess which enters into the side wall thereof and which recess is shaped and dimensioned to snugly receive the neck with its closure thereon of the container of an adjacent state or Great Lake. The board is sufficiently large to provide areas outside of the flange aforesaid on which containers which are replicas of Alaska and Hawaii may be placed.
In a combination jigsaw puzzle and container set, a. a board of rectangular shape and having an upper surface from which upstands a flange in the shape of the contour of the continental United States of America and the Great Lakes, with the exception of Alaska; b. a set of hollow containers, each having opposed flat top and bottom walls and a side wall; c. the side walls of certain of said containers having the configurations of said states and the side walls of of others of said containers having the configurations of said Great Lakes; d. a neck extending from the side wall of each container; e. a closure removably assembled on each of said necks, and f. one or more recesses in the side wall of certain of said containers shaped and dimensioned to receive the neck of an adjoining container with the closure thereon; whereby said containers are adapted to be assembled in interlocked relation within said flange to provide a representation of the continental United States of America.
