Description: I have been adopted and now have a new home. This is a lovely little game by Cardinal Products Co of New York. It was manufactured in the early 1950's. The game has 152 tiles and includes 8 natural flowers - 2 sets of bouquets each numbered 1-4 and 8 tiles added from another Cardinal game that have been stickered for use as jokers. With its compliment of 152 tiles it is immediately ready to play using either NMJL (National Mah Jong League) rules or Chinese Rules. There are 4 beautifully swirled burgundy Bakelite racks. There are matching candy apple red Bakelite E's on each rack. And all the flippies are fully working. I took a close-up picture to show the lovely swirling present on each of the racks. The game comes in a beautifully lined vintage case. The handle is vintage Bakelite and is strong and secure. The case has a particularly clean interior and is in great shape. Check out the interior tile trays - unbroken, clean and strong. The tiles have aged to a lovely deeper butterscotch and match well in color both back and front. No matter the style of game you play (Chinese or NMJL) this game is ready for play right out of the box ! |
