Stave, 265 pieces. This is an early 80s Stave with some distinctions from current practices. First, the cutting is not quite where it will be--there are some pieces so fragile that they broke (one of the palm trees, two of the cursive names). Second, "in the world of mules there are no rules--Ogden Nash" is written across the back, though I suppose that could have been added later. Third, there is a "logograph"--a word made of letters scattered through the puzzle that is supposed to spell a word related to the puzzle, though I was defeated by it (and I tried Scrabble aids!). Suggestions welcome. It's still a Stave and gets the Stave scale, but it is not today's Stave. 5/10

| rebus: bear + foot + in + d + P + ark = barefoot in the park, though that doesn't look much like a bear to me; it's my best guess |

| I have no idea! Since the ES were together in the puzzle, the instructions say, they're in that order in the word |
