1933 Bisons Puzzles

[andypcl]

Hi,
I found these at an antique store recently and I'm hoping someone can help me out. The seller had each puzzle in it's corresponding box as pictured below. I found a Legendary auction where the puzzles of Bartulis and Gould were reversed. I'm assuming Legendary had it right and that the seller had the puzzles in the wrong boxes. But, I thought I'd inquire hoping someone would know for sure which player is Gould, and which is Bartulis. Thanks!!

The one on the right is Gould. I have the same one. Nice pick-ups!

Great pickup on the Puzzles. They are really scarce...

Thanks for the feedback! I'll switch boxes.

Good thing you got them both!

You're right, could have easily been a third player i guess. I got really lucky on these two. I was in an old junk shop and the guy mentioned he had a couple puzzles. I know him from stopping in over the years and figured they'd be modern. I couldn't believe when he moved a few things around a pulled them out. Only bummer is he said he believed all pieces were there on at least one of them. Missing pieces and the grey color makes these darn hard to put together!

I was at an auction today not far from Buffalo NY. There were 10 of these puzzles sold, including the Schalk pictured in this thread. They sold for $4750 + 20% BP=$5700. The price of these puzzles has apparently gone up.

I recall reading a story from 10 years ago or so about a collector from Buffalo who had at least one complete set of Bison puzzles, and he was assembling it one night when an airplane crashed into his house and killed him, along with everyone aboard.
