Catalogue information
Cf info Playing Hongs: The game consists of six figures of 9 pieces each + a black Peter's head. It is therefore in between a kind of Jumbolino and Zwarte Piet, but also has something of Metamorphosis. The game also includes an unprocessed wooden die (not in the picture). On the lid and the game board is the Kennummer K744 (Drukkerij de IJsel in Deventer). That printing company made very beautiful dyes for all kinds of purposes. They could therefore also print in very attractive colors, which is why their subsidiary company was called MULTICOLOR. The archive is located in the City and Athenaeum Library in Deventer, where you can find, among other things, that they not only printed all the strips for Flipje Tiel, but also many games for DORCO in The Hague (= van Dorp en Co). These games (often quartet games) have also been sold by Jumbo in Amsterdam. On the lid is another special logo that shows the initials P.S. of the draftsman in stylized form. During the war, all graphic work was by Piet Smeele (he used different styles and techniques).
