Rattle puzzle

Rare nowadays, the rattler puzzles were very much in fashion around 1900. These early puzzles were made from wood.

They usually consist of many smaller pieces assembled on a main piece which may have a big handle to hold the puzzle. The movable pieces have to be arranged just right to let a first piece be separated from the rest of the assembly. In this respect rattler puzzles are closely related to the lock puzzles and puzzle locks[?].
