Description
This example of the original Rubik’s Cube puzzle is presented in its early Ideal Toy Company retail box. The packaging features the black box design with large diagonal “Rubik’s Cube” lettering and the phrase “over three billion combinations… just one solution.” The box is marked with the Ideal logo and model number No. 2164-2. Inside, the cube is displayed within the original yellow cardboard insert designed to hold the puzzle at an angle for retail presentation.
The cube itself is the early stickered style with colored vinyl squares applied to a black plastic body, consistent with the first widely distributed production runs following the puzzle’s introduction to the U.S. market. Ideal Toy Company began distributing Rubik’s Cubes in North America in 1980 during the height of the puzzle’s popularity. This example represents an early retail edition from approximately 1980–1982 and retains its original box packaging.
