Six Hookers

Six Hookers is the hexagonal variant of the puzzle described in Lynn Yarborough's expired patent.

The square version was entered into the Nob Yoshigahara Puzzle Design Competition some years ago. Bits and Pieces also made a commercial version.

With the patent long expired the Two Brass Monkeys thought they would make a the hexagonal version which has never previously been available.

The goal is simply to assemble the six identical hookers.

Each hooker is identical and has been milled from a solid piece of brass bar. 
Each piece measures about 65mm long and the whole puzzle weighs 380g or about 13.5oz. 

Fun fact : despite it's relative simplicity, this puzzle required more prototypes than many of their other puzzles. Can you work out why?

This puzzle comes assembled in a presentation box.
