Perhaps we are late, or maybe you are early.


Two Puzzle Prizes have been won
for telling us who
Nombrex were !


We are still waiting to give prizes to
the first person to tell us the answer to one of these questions:-

What is the script on the Napkin Ring?

What does "1/6 ME A DOG" mean?

Can you solve the two Johnson Coins?


Who was Scannavini ?

Some other places in the Puzzle Museum that you may not have discovered:-

Where does the script below originate and what does it mean?

Devanagiri

These characters are on a very rare 3-band gold puzzle ring. Several Jewelry experts have looked and suggested ages of 150 to over 600 years old. The key to the correct date must lie in the script and meaning of the script.

The first suggestion was that they were a stylized form of IHS; however after several months we have had three people tell us that the characters should be orientated as shown opposite, and that they are DEVANAGARI.

If this is correct then our gold puzzle comes from Northern India, Nepal or thereabouts. Can anyone deduce the precise location, their age, and the meaning? If so, please email us.
