Description:

I have been adopted and now have a new home.

This is a beautiful burgundy dovetail game by TYL Manufacturing based in New York. It was manufactured in the mid 1950's.

Dovetailed tiles were designed to mimic the style used in manufacturing bone & bamboo tiles where the bone and bamboo were joined by a dovetail joint. These Bakelite tiles are butterscotch on the front and burgundy on the back and have the dovetail feature on the sides. They are extremely robust tiles and are delightful to play with.

The game has 152 tiles and includes 8 natural flowers and 8 tiles stickered for use as jokers. I believe there are flowers under the stickers. The stickers are the original style sticker issued by the NMJL (National Mah Jong League) and have been on the tiles for quite some number of years. I think they will come off very easily and could either be cleaned and left as flowers or restickered with newer style joker stickers. This game is ready for NMJL (National Mah Jong League) rules or Chinese Rules right out of the box.

The game comes in its original TYL case. The case's handle is made of Bakelite and is in excellent working condition.

There are 4 swirled Bakelite racks in minty green, burgundy, lemon and blue/green swirl. There are complimenting swirled Bakelite E's on each rack.
