Description :

Offered here is a high Quality, full-sized, Vintage Cased Mahjong set cased in a 5-drawer wooden chest adorned with brass corners and handles and a sliding door with Chinese calligraphy. The case measures approx 9-1/2″ by 6-1/2″ by 6-1/2″ tall. The game tiles are Bone and Bamboo, with keyed domed bottoms and Chinese-themed art and calligraphy. The drawers house the tiles which are 40% bone and 60% Bamboo. The tiles measure approx 1-1/4″ by 8/7″ and are 1/2″ thick. The set is almost complete with 144 tiles, bone stick counters and instruction booklet. Only missing the 3 miniature dice.  The case, tiles and other game pieces are in excellent condition given age. Circa1920s.

The quality of a typical Mahjong set can be determined by the ratio of Bone to Bamboo. The thicker the bone layer and the the thicker the tile, the more valuable the set.  Sets depicting flower motifs are also often more sought after.

(*Note: 2 drawer rings are misshapen, drawers open but do rub/stick tightly!)
