The book and film don't give any information about how old any of the items are or where Eli got them from, so it's really anyone's guess.

Their narrative function, as said by John on this forum and in the UK commentary track, is mainly to hint at Eli's mysterious past and show to readers and viewers how much free time he has.

That said, someone might be able to identify the puzzles that appear in the film. I don't know if any of them are based on real toys or if they were all just props made up for the film.
De höll om varandra i tystnad. Oskar blundade och visste: detta var det största. Ljuset från lyktan i portvalvet trängde svagt in genom hans slutna ögonlock, la en hinna av rött för hans ögon. Det största.
