Comments:    Lakehurst in New Jersey, USA, was the home to many airships and blimps, including "Los Angeles", "Shenandoah" and "Akron". It was also the American destination of the "Graf Zeppelin" and "Hindenburg". However the location is most notably remembered for the Hindenburg disaster on the 6th May 1937. The puzzle shows Hangar No 1 on the Eastern American coast and a comparable hangar in Western Europe, Germany? The idea is to get the Zeppelin; a wooden bead with a hole in one end, docked onto the mast; the red metal articulating point in the bottom left hand corner of the puzzle. Compare to DH14. This one has an orange background and states that it is "Made in USA", and says "Moor the Zeppelin to its mast". The construction is a cardboard back, a glass front and a metal frame.
