Description: The Eastern manufacturing company started producing games in the 1920's and appears to have made games for a number of different Mah Jong labels. You will see similarities between Eastern games, Piroxloid and even 10 Flowers. This game is one of their earlier styles from the late 1920's. The game has 8 sequenced bouquets. 4 flowers numbered 1-4 and 4 occupations numbered 1-4. The game would have originally come with 146 tiles. 8 tiles have been added from another partial Eastern game to bring the tile count to 152 for NMJL rule play. The green case is sturdy and in pretty good condition. The handle has been taped but is strong enough to be used. The game has 4 gorgeous swirled Bakelite racks in deep green, butterscotch, minty green and burgundy with matching swirled Bakelite E's. Tokens and a pair of dice are included. There is a pair of keys for the case, I can't get the locks to work and don't want to force them but I think they are the original keys. |
