City - Mogollon NM - Before the ghosts 1940 Jigsaw Puzzle
Colourized photo from 1940 May
Original title: Main st, Second largest gold mining town in the state
Original photographer: Lee Russell
Location: Burnsum Rd, Mogollon, NM, Near the museum
Mogollon, New Mexico, currently a ghost town, but was once a gold mining town. The town opened from about 1870-1880 till about 1940. The price of gold fluctuated over time, through WWI then WWII, the price dropped so much people left the town.
The mines were dusty, full of quartz, bad for the lungs, so there wasn't really enough there for people to want to stay there when the price dropped. In its day though, there were a number of stores and bars, enough to be a whole town, roughly 3000 people worked and lived there, but the amount of people living there by 1940, it started to really decline then, and by 1950 it was almost empty. The census in 2000, showed zero people, but today there is about 15, its privately owned and they run tours showing the empty houses.
This is what they used to call Main street in the past, today its known as Burnsum Rd. At the end of the block on the left, is the town's museum. And a bit behind us is Deadwood gulch.

I got this image in 110 pieces as I cannot commit to large puzzles. This one took me about an hour and was fairly easy. Perhaps 252 pieces would have better suited me for a little more complexity. This is not my favourite sugar skull as I prefer more girly colours like hot pink, reds and purples but I enjoyed doing this one. There is a lot of detail in the image and it was interesting to do. I don't think I will buy the larger puzzle count just because there are other sugar skull images that I much prefer.
Again very good quality puzzle and durable storage box that fits very well on small bookcase. The image was well positioned on this one so who ever printed this one got it pretty bang on.

We are pleased with the jigsaw itself. However we are disappointed the box is far bigger than the jigsaw and not the kind of storage box we expected i.e. Ravensburger standard; rather it's a postage box and not very sturdy at that. Given it cost £18 + pp we did expect more. The image quality is good.
The pieces are rather thin and flimsy.

I bought this image in 110 pieces because I like puzzles I can complete in a few hours. This one took me about 1.5 hours. It was surprisingly challenging in that in the nebular section of the image the pieces were difficult to orientate. It was difficult to gauge which pieces were right without trying them and sometimes I thought certain pieces wouldn't fit and they did. It must be the way the image is made up that it tricks the eye. I definitely found it harder than I thought it would be so yes it's a challenge.
As always very good quality puzzle in a very durable box that stores really well on my small bookcase. The image was well orientated on the puzzle so I would say the printer got this one pretty bang on. Very good quality image.
