The puzzles shown are those I have seen - there may be others. I do not own all of these - those that I do own are shown in other sections of the website.
The Japanese Naef fan site "naef collections" has been invaluable (unfortunately it was on Geocities and is defunct). That site gave a comprehensive list of Naef puzzle designers.
The Musashino Art University site contains another listing of Naef designers, items, and model numbers.
