Review video of this puzzle

I made a review video with nice items and regular recurring elements – note: I forgot to mention the Cactus by Dick Heins!!!!:

You can see Dick Heins' Cactus here:

Following my Youtube video, another reaction from a follower. Bob Ross can also be seen in an older version, in the image below with the vest with the text 'Happy Place':

Following my Youtube video, another reaction from a follower. You see on a Mobility scooter the text 'Heaven's Devil's', this is probably the older version of a 'Hell's Angel', see:

Another nice item is 'the thing' that Dick Heins' father has in his hand, which you can see here:

But what does he have in his hand? Dick Heins explained this in the Jan van Haasteren Facebook forum as:
“My father always made a kind of mouse out of his handkerchief for the children. He would stroke it and with the fingers of the hand that held the handkerchief he would push it forward, as if the mouse were jumping forward.”
In addition, this drawing is a very special one for Dick Heins (he says: one of the largest, original, hand-colored drawings I have ever made), it has already appeared much earlier in a 1500 piece puzzle and Dick Heins made this post on his Facebook page about this.

How long will it take you to complete this 1000 piece puzzle?

I did the puzzle 'The Old People's Home' in peace and quiet and it took me several days. Nicely done in a puzzle mat made on the floor in the living room. I do take the time, but not very precisely, it remains a hobby that puzzles! But to give you an idea of ​​how long it took me to complete this 1000 piece JvH puzzle:

• Explaining the pieces: 20 minutes
• Laying the edges = 25 minutes
• Laying the rest of the pieces = 5 hours and 40 minutes
• Which made me do this puzzle in total = 6 hours and 25 minutes. It used to take me almost always 8 hours, but I have a special tip to be able to puzzle a lot faster

About Jumbo puzzles

Jumbo (not to be confused with our supermarket Jumbo!) makes toys, games and puzzles. Jumbo, for example, has made the very well-known games such as “Human don't get annoyed” and “Stratego” and “PimPamPet”. Games that have been around for generations and are still widely played by both young and old. Jumbo has been making and developing toys since about 1900. In the early years of the company, only toys from other countries were imported to the Netherlands. However, since about 1930 it was decided to also make their own toys, at the time manufacturing wooden toys, which was very popular at the time. Almost all toys in those years were made of wood. An important spearhead was that the toys made by Jumbo had to be of very good quality; it had to be as strong as an Elephant. An elephant had to stand on it! The red elephant has been the hallmark of Jumbo's games and puzzles for years. The name Jumbo and the red elephant together form the logo from about 1935. The Jumbo elephant is drawn by Mr. Möhr. He worked at an advertising agency and regularly signed for Hausemann & Hötte. Mr Möhr was at one point commissioned to design a beautiful new elephant logo for the Hausemann & Hötte toys. The logo has changed a bit since then. For example, the eye has grown over the years and has dropped slightly more, resulting in a friendlier elephant.

In the past, the elephant was not only used in the color red, but in all kinds of colors such as blue, yellow, black, white and green. All those colors were cozy and playful. For example, one time there was a yellow elephant on the box and the other time a red one. It was usually looked at which color best matched the color of the box. It was not until the end of the 60s that the red elephant was definitively chosen. Red is a color that stands out and attracts attention.

From 1945 Jumbo also started to focus on games made of cardboard. Jumbo has therefore been a guarantee for strong quality for years! Jumbo is a unique Dutch company with a rich history, with its head office in Zaandam. About 130 employees work for Jumbo. With a turnover of €75 million, Jumbo is a medium-sized European player in toys. Jumbo has sales offices in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom. They export to more than 25 countries around the world.

In 1980 Jumbo starts the production of Jan van Haasteren Puzzles.
