Description:

Offered for adoption is very pretty little bone & bamboo game with the sweetest one circle. It has a unique design feature that is less floral than some one circles and rather Art Deco in appearance.

There are a gorgeous set of flowers featuring narrow tall plant pots on raised feet. There are 2 complete bouquets each numbered 1-4.

In addition to the wonderful one circle it has a lovely sitting sparrow one bamboo and "rod" style bamboos. Because of the "complex" style character tiles this game is likely from the late 1940's perhaps very early 1950"s.

The game is housed in slightly lacquered wood box. The box is a very simple design with no brass trim but it does have two ornate top handles. To open the drawers there are little notches for your fingers to grab and pull open the drawers. The wooden box has dovetailed edges.

There are a total of 152 tiles with a bone to bamboo ratio "40/60" - 40% bone and 60% bamboo. 152 tiles means this game has all its original tiles (148 playing tiles). Added to these 148 tiles are 4 matching blanks that can be been stickered for use as jokers. Because of the added tiles this game can be played with using National Mah Jong League (NMJL) or traditional Chinese rules - the best of both worlds!

I have had many happy hours of playing time with this game and I hope someone will love and play with it as much as I have. With the addition of the extra tiles this game can be played with right out of the box - whatever your style of play.

Let me know if I can help with any more information.
