The Jubilee of Jumbo 170 Years

There is of course a story behind this puzzle! First, the draftsman is Jan van Haasteren. That makes sense because it is an old drawing by Jan van Haasteren (The Opening) and it has been adapted by Mars Gremmen. So there are actually two draftsmen for this puzzle. In 2007, a puzzle in 500 pieces was published with the title 'The opening' – draftsman Jan van Haasteren. This has therefore been slightly modified by the draftsman Mars Gvangen and that has become the current puzzle.
Jumbo will indeed be 2023 years old in 170 and was founded in 1853. However, Jumbo's original name was 'De Nederlandse Spellenfabriek'. However, what is the connection between the 'Nederlandse Spellenfabriek' and 'Jumbo'? A bit of history from the website of the Dutch Games Factory:
“In 1853, Koninklijke Hausemann & Hötte NV (H&H) was founded in Amsterdam. After decades of steady growth and the introduction of classics such as Mecano and Dinky Toy, H&H decided to open its own production facility in 1950; 'the Dutch Games Factory'. Millions of H&H products, known under brand names such as Jumbo, Papita and King, rolled off the production line at the NSF. First in Amsterdam, later in Wognum and since 2006, after the opening by HKH Maxima, in Medemblik.” Read more about Jumbo 170 years and the story behind the Jubilee puzzles.

Laying the puzzle

I made this puzzle on a puzzle mat. In retrospect that wasn't entirely necessary, I had installed it in record time. He was very easy. I started with the edges and sorting the pieces. All edge pieces found, always nice:

The red carpet used for the opening was relatively easy; you also see a lot of recurring elements there. Also started the red Jumbo logo and the red-white striped tent:

I already knew that I was going to do it last, the grass with the green elements was next:

I don't have many more 'in between' photos because the installation went very quickly, and the Jumbo stone building was also relatively simple.

and yes, finally finished the puzzle, fun but a bit too easy:

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

I made the puzzle 'Jumbo 170 Years' in peace and it also took several days. Beautiful on 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 puzzling! But to give you an idea how long it took me to complete this JvH puzzle of 1000 pieces:

• Explaining the pieces: 20 minutes
• Laying the edges = 25 minutes
• Laying the rest of the pieces = 4 hours/li>
• Which made me do this puzzle in total = 4 hours and 45 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.
