Company:Bestime
From HandWiki
Bestime (also spelled BeStime or Bes-time) was a British manufacturer of jigsaw puzzles and games. In the 1950s and 1960s, the company was best known for its jigsaws created by Enid Blyton.[1] The company made the first four puzzles in 1948, including an Amelia Jane jigsaw (the first jigsaw) and released over 20.[2][3] The Famous Five series of jigsaws were illustrated by Eileen Soper. Harmsen van der Beek was the illustrator for the Noddy series of jigsaws as with the books.[4] Bestime also made the Blyton Giant Tiddley Winks Game.[5] In 1954, Bestime released the first four jigsaws of The Secret Seven.[6] The company was dissolved in 1973.[7]
