I have been adopted and have a lovely new home!

This is a lovely traditional style bone & bamboo game housed in a rather nice box that I think may be cedar. Usually the boxes are made from rosewood this one is a lighter wood and is a lighter colour and is in very nice condition.

This game has all its original 148 tiles (144 for play and 4 spares). I have added 4 further tiles and stickered them as jokers so this game has 152 tiles in total and can be used for both NMJL and Chinese rules play.

The game is from approximately the early 1940’s and has the original “simpler” style character design confirming its age. There are 8 flowers, 2 bouquet each numbered 1-4. The tiles are in nice condition.

The tiles have a 30/70 split (30% bone and 70% bamboo).

As mentioned the box is in very nice condition. It has all its original components including all the drawer pulls and handles and a nicely fitting front sliding door. I took a close up of the top of the box to show you the nice dovetailing construction.

For anyone wishing to add a lovely vintage game to their collection or perhaps start a collection this is a great addition to anyone’s home …
