Rosebud diameter: 10cm

Notes: A rare signature design, requiring coordinate motion of all six pieces to assemble the "rosebud" configuration (shown above left). A small pin is included to keep the rosebud very close to fully open (shown above, right) without falling apart unintentionally. The assembly jig (shown below) was originally sold separately, but is included here. Three other assemblies are possible. Inscribed "STC 1982". Copy of original instruction sheet included.
