Description: I have been adopted and now have a new home. MET was based in New York and was known to have manufactured 3 styles of Bakelite games. The Peacock, Parrot and Perching Pheasant. This particular style is the Perching Peasant game but it has an added twist ... it has a rare style of white dragon not found in all games. The game is from the late 1950's. It would have originally had 146 tiles. 144 playing tiles and 2 spare tiles. Additional MET tiles have been added to this game to make it playable using NMJL rules. Take a look at the picture of the backs of the tiles - they match well. There are 8 flowers/worker tiles - 2 bouquets numbered 1-4 and 8 stickered tiles to be used as jokers. The white dragons in this game are a rare style and are only found in this style of Perching Pheasant game. The racks are made from a beautiful burgundy swirled Bakelite. The racks have matching metal E's. The case is original to the game and has its dark blue velvet lining stll intact inside the lid. The leather handle is in good condition and is still strong. The case is scuffed as can be expected from its age. Tokens are included with the game. |
