Details
This compact saddle leather travel case tries hard to look like a regular Chinese 5-drawer box. Its measurements are about the same. There are embossed hints of those Chines copper corner pieces. These kind of valises, more often available as flatter attaché-cases, are likely to be Made in China. But mainly for expats living in formal British India and the Dutch Indies. The tiles look like blocks of cheese and are skilfull engraved. The rule book is edited by the Dutch games & sports company Perry.
