APC (American Publishing Corporation) presents this 81-piece silver age Batgirl canister jigsaw puzzle circa 1974.

1974 Batgirl Puzzle Packaging

This vintage Batgirl puzzle comes in a cardboard canister with a removable plastic lid and a non-removable metal bottom. The round cardboard form is wrapped in a white paper with 4-color printing.

Highlighted on the wrapper is the Batgirl puzzle illustration along with the iconic Batgirl logo.

These canister puzzles were very popular in the early 1970s. You can find similar ones of Batman, Superman, and The Planet of the Apes.

The outer wrapper of this Batgirl puzzle lists "81 BIG PIECES" and "81 GRANDES PIÉCES". Other canister puzzles from APC are typically only labeled in English. This could be part of the reason the APC Batgirl puzzle is much more rare than others from APC.

This rare APC puzzle depicts Batgirl in a silver age illustration style. Batgirl is swinging in on a bat-line to simultaneously kick two armed thugs who are clearly up to no good. The minimalistic background contains a green lamppost and sign with an orange circular "No Parking" sign attached to it.

Batgirl is clad in her popular one-piece gray bodysuit with blue cape & cowl and yellow boots & gloves.
