A reader writes:
I am sending a photo of a puzzle that my mother-in-law had in her possession. Years ago she asked me to take a picture of it to perhaps send to a magazine or newspaper to see if anyone could identify it. It was passed down to her with one of her parent’s possessions and all she remembered was that it was a puzzle of some kind. I laid it on a piece of paper to take the photo and it was about eight inches long. As you can see from the photo it is a series of interlocking rings and the extra rod was separate, although I set it down with the main part so it would be part of the photo. My mother-in-law assumed it was a homemade puzzle but had no idea how it was played or what to do with it. She has been gone now for a few years and I feel bad that I never tried harder to solve the mystery of her puzzle for her. Perhaps a reader of the Co-operator will know what it is and how to do the puzzle.

Giant Canada geese are seemingly everywhere and can be fine table fare for local hunters, but 70 years ago, they were borderline extinct.
