Title Pelle Kanin i Fara Puzzle
Year c.1960
Country Sweden
Description Swedish Pyramid Puzzle manufactured by Alga featuring Brer Rabbit and Brer Bear. The puzzle pieces are made of wood. The puzzle picture features Brer Bear with his club standing over Brer Rabbit as he is stuck in the tar, before being roasted in a fire by Brer Fox. The caption says "Jag har så'n lust att slå till dig!" which roughly translates to "I so want to hit you!" There are approximately 94 pieces. The box is a rather unique triangle shape and features pictures of Brer Bear, Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox around the sides.

Notes Based on the title of the puzzle being written on the label that sealed the box and not the box itself, I suspect there may have been a series of Pelle Kanin puzzles. I have not seen enough of them yet to make a determination.
