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 Peacock game and is loved by players and collectors alike.

The game is from the late 1950's. It would have originally had 146 tiles. 144 playing tiles and two joker tiles styled as budhas. Additional MET tiles have been added to this game to make it playable using NMJL rules.

There are 10 flowers/worker tiles - 2 bouquets numbered 1-5 and 6 stickered tiles to be used as jokers. The white dragons in this game are referred to as "picture" frame tiles because of their design. The racks are made from a beautiful butterscotch swirled Bakelite. The racks have matching metal E's. The case is an original trumpet style case and still has its MET manufacturer's label on the inside. The leather handle is worn but still strong. It has been taped on one side but this does not affect its use. Tokens are included with the game.
