Vintage Meffert's Pyraminx 1981 ,The "Blind Man's" Edition
Original Pyraminx from 1981, manufactured by Meffert's.
- Historical : While some sources suggest similar puzzles existed in Russia in the 1930s-40s, Uwe Meffert is widely credited with inventing the Pyraminx around 1970—predating the Rubik's 3x3 cube. It was officially patented in 1981.
- The "Blind Man's" Edition: This specific model is a unique "textured" version. Each of the four faces has a distinct material feel:
One face has standard smooth stickers.
One face has a felt-like textile texture.
One face has rough, sandpaper-like stickers.
One face has padded, metallic stickers.
- Accessibility: This might be one of the first puzzles in history designed to be accessible for visually impaired people (often referred to as the "Blind Man's Pyraminx" in collector circles).
-Physical Details: The puzzle was made in Hong Kong in 1981 and features the original "Patent Pending" gold Meffert's seal. It uses an old-school ball-bearing "click" mechanism for alignment.
- Collectibility: Original packaging and a pyramid-shaped instruction pamphlet featuring a young Uwe Meffert. This as a display-only historical piece rather than a speed-cube.
