Parker Brothers of Salem, Massachusetts produced games and puzzles throughout the 20th century. Probably no other firm made adult wood puzzles in such numbers. The firm's Pastime Puzzles, produced from 1908 to 1958, were known for the high quality and creative figure-shaped cutting of the so-called "Pastime girls." They typically turned out 1,400 pieces or more per day, cutting one piece at a time with power scroll saws.
