Limited Editions: In the past, the term 1^st Edition and 2^nd Edition were use to describe a batch or batches of boxes made in a single Limited Edition design. The terminology has been confusing for us and our customers. To clarify, the following defines what a Quagmire Puzzle Box "Limited Edition" means. In addition, "Unlimited Edition" is a term that has been added to describe puzzle boxes that are not offered as a limited edition.

Limited Edition Puzzle Boxes

The puzzle boxes are a serial numbered series produced in a quantity of 120 or less. Each serial numbered series is of a specified style, design, puzzlistic value and composition. All combined specified properties comprise a Limited Edition puzzle box edition.

One specified limited edition may be produced in batches represented as “1^st batch” and 2^nd batch, etc.. Serial numbers will run consecutively within the complete Limited Edition of a specific design. Quantities produced in each batch may vary depending on production conditions.

The term 1^st Edition and 2^nd Edition will apply to a Limited Edition design that is made in a new exotic wood type- different from that used for the previous edition(s). i.e., a 2^nd Edition batch would have it's own serial numbered series.

Limited Edition box designs will be posted with a set quantity determined for a specific numbered edition.

Limited Edition boxes are handcrafted using select exotic hardwoods.

Unlimited Edition Puzzle Boxes

These are puzzle boxes that are produced in “unlimited” quantities.

These boxes may be completely new designs or reproductions of previous limited edition designs.

Unlimited "reproduction" versions may represent the puzzlistic characteristics of a previous limited edition, but will not be an exact replica of the the original edition. You will find that most of these will be made of American Red Alder, Walnut and composites. This makes it possible to provide others with a similar puzzlistic experience without compromising the values of Limited Edition box releases.

Unlimited edition boxes may or may not be completely handmade.

A note from Randal G. / Quagmire Puzzle Boxes

It is my goal to create 2 to 3 new Limited Editions puzzle box designs each year. Each of these "Original" designs will be handmade using exotic hardwoods and constructed for heirloom longevity. As one would image, designing brand new, never seen before puzzle boxes can be a very timely process. Many weeks... even months in some cases are invested into developing one perfect working prototype. When a prototype is finally tested and approved for a Limited Edition, each and every box is completely handmade, piece by piece, from the very first cut too the final hand buffing. The result is a totally original puzzle box that feels as unique as it looks.

My future drawing board includes making more Unlimited Edition designs. Some of these maybe based on some of the original concepts that I have developed. These "reproduction" puzzle boxes will be produced so that more folks can own and experience some of the Quagmire Puzzle Box concepts. Some designs are generated with the use of laser technology such as some of the intricate inlays we use. Whether you choose one of my limited or unlimited edition designs, every box is made to be used and enjoyed. With a Quagmire Puzzle Box, you will have a puzzle box like non other you will find anywhere!
Thank you , Randal Gatewood

Updates:
(09/10/08)
I have decided to change the number of limited editions from the quantity of 60 to 120 maximum. The reason for this is because I have found that the demand justifies the increase. The previous quantity of 60 was set over 8 years ago. Since then the popularity of unique puzzle boxes has increased. I know this first hand from the many request I get for my past Limited Edition puzzle box designs. This does not mean that all of my new Limited Editions will be made in a quantity of 150. But, I do have a couple of up coming designs that I think will qualify for a larger production.
