Jigsaw puzzle:Liner in Port ADW attribution

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 brand, produced from 1908 through the 1950s, was known for the high quality and creative figure-shaped cutting of the so-called "Pastime Girls," who cut the puzzles one piece at a time using power saws. Parker also produced custom examples of these puzzle types for individuals, stores, and lending libraries. And Miss Josephine Flood, who operated her Picture Puzzle Mart on Park Avenue in New York, ordered specially-made intricately cut examples from Parker, often supplying her own selection of lithographs and travel posters. Flood sold and rented puzzles to a demanding clientele. The "Liner in Port" puzzle is one of Flood's examples, cut around 1940 and having many figural pieces.
