This is an original vintage MAH JONG set comprising 156 Chinese Bakelite Tiles, which come in their original cardboard case. The set is hand carved/coloured and was most likely made in China during the 1940's or 50's.Overall condition is generally very good, with just superficial age-related surface wear and light scratches. There is some fading to the ink on a couple of the tiles and very slight age-related variations in colour, but this is part of the normal aging process of bakelite tiles and is therefore only mentioned for the sake of absolute accuracy.
The tiles are quite nicely carved and decorated. Photos of front and reverse of all tiles are provided, so please be sure to scroll through to the additional photos above.
Each tile measures 1 1/8" x 13/16" x 1/2" (28mm x 21mm x 13mm)
The cardboard case is in tatty/worn condition. There are several taped repairs, some of which have failed and the handle is missing, but the straps/press studs are complete and hold the lid closed. so it does still provide some protection to the tiles etc.
I am not an expert on Mah Jong, so if anyone can provide additional information on this set I'd be very pleased to hear from them. Photographs therefore form a very important part of my description and bidders are advised to study them carefully and to contact me for any additional information they may need.This item is quite heavy and once safely packed will weigh well over 3kgs, which is reflected in my shipping quote.
