BEVERLY HILLBILLIES Roalex slide puzzle

  This is a 2.5" square plastic slide puzzle of Jethro, Ellie Mae, Jed Clampett, and Granny from the television series The Beverly Hillbillies.  The four characters are shown in black-and-white, with Jethro holding a hat, Ellie Mae waving, Jed holding a shotgun, and Granny rocking in her rocking chair.  This item is in NM+ condition and it has never been removed from its original 4.75x6" cardboard mounting card.  The mounting card has nice graphics showing the four main characters in their roadster, along with several possible and impossible permutations of the puzzle's solution.  The mounting card has two small tears along the lower edge and a fair amount of creasing.  But it is intact and it displays nicely.  The back of it, however, has numerous pen markings on it, from where the item's previous owner kept some type of track of his/her outcomes playing with this item.  This slide puzzle was manufactured by Roalex and it probably dates to the earlier 1960s.
