This is for a vintage Tangram puzzle based on an old Chinese game
where there are seven pieces that can be arranged to make different images.
They are made from celluloid or some other kind of bakelite or early plastic, i
am not sure what and date to around the 1930s/40s. All the pieces fit into their
box on two layers and under the lid it is marked 'Made in England, Palitoy'.
The box is decorated with the same bird design on the top and base and the
seven different shaped pieces inside are decorated with flowers. It is all in
absolute excellent condition with no damage to it anywhere and the box measures
49mm (2") square.
