Description:

I have been adopted and now have a new home.

This Chinese Bakelite game is called a "turkey bam" because of the design of the one bamboo tiles.

Chinese Bakelite is a term used to identify this style of game. These games were imported from China and are made of Bakelite - they pass the scrubbing bubbles test for Bakelite. Most of the Chinese Bakelite tiles have a sharper edge to them as this set does.

There are 152 tiles so you can play regular Chinese rules or NMJL (National Mah Jong League) rules. There are 8 flowers, 2 sets of fully sequenced bouquets numbered 1-4 plus 8 extra tiles that have been added from a partial Chinese Bakelite set to be used as jokers.

The 8 tiles currently have "big joker" stickers. If you would like these swapped to a complimentary set of one of our custom designed joker stickers take a look at the selection we have:

If you would like to adopt this game and change the joker stickers just let us know which joker sticker you like.

The quality of engraving and the detail of the designs are very intricate. Chinese Bakelite sets are very popular these days.

The case is in very good condition. It has its original leather handle which looks almost unused. The racks are a gorgeous swirled rich green Bakelite. Tokens are included.

This game is ready to be adopted ...
