Sam Lloyd invented a puzzle game that was manufactured and sold called
the "14-15" puzzle.  http://www.hc11.demon.nl/15puzzle/15puzzen.htm 
The solution to this puzzle is impossible.  I am looking for somewhere
where I can buy an original Sam Lloyd "14-15 puzzle" (not the "15
puzzle")  I believe the puzzle was manufactured by the Embossing
Company of New York. So my question is, where can I buy an original
"14-15" puzzle?
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.

How fun!  I have one of these at home.  And, no, you cannot buy it.

I hope you do get an answer, because I'd like to buy a couple more.

Thanks for posting what the name of these things are...

I'd suggest you check where you can buy all kinds of collectables --
on ebay. Currently, they have a "Magic 15 & 16" Puzzle by the NY
Embossing Co. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=907592208).
