Designed in the mid-1970's by Erno Rubik, this puzzle has continually confounded me for best part of 40 years. Becoming popular in the early 1980's this original, authentic Rubik's Cube has survived incredibly well, no doubt having been kept in a cupboard by a frustrated owner. The cylindrical, thick cardboard box with black plastic ends remains in perfect condition as is the coloured label. The actual 3x3cube is clean and in full working order, the mechanism movement is smooth. The central white square has the official Rubik's Cube trade mark. There is no evidence that any of the coloured squares have ever been removed. Also included is the original folded paper instruction leaflet which is slightly grubby in appearance. Overall a great item for a collector of classic toys, as part of a 1980's display or for someone wishing to relive their childhood.
