Try a hint before revealing the answer
Open one hint at a time to preserve some of the challenge.
Hint 1
Study the identification photograph and separate pieces with matching notch patterns.
Hint 2
Look for the key piece: it is often the only piece that can move slightly when the puzzle is complete.
Hint 3
Keep the metal pieces in the same orientation and follow one opening at a time rather than pulling.
How to use the preserved instructions
Lay the pieces out in the same orientation as the component key. Work through the numbered stages in order and keep the assembly loose until the final locking movement.

Did this solve your puzzle?
A quick answer helps us improve the guidance without asking for personal details.
Identifying the six classic wire puzzles
The preserved sheet clearly shows six separate wire-puzzle solution sequences, but the archive copy does not provide reliable individual model names for each diagram. Crafty Puzzles therefore keeps them together as one six-puzzle instruction sheet rather than assigning names that cannot be verified.
Use the shapes in the instruction sheet to match your puzzle visually. If you have original packaging that names the six designs, please share the evidence with the archive; verified names can then be added.
