Vtg Mah Jong Jongg Mahjong Game Set 161 Bakelite Catalin Bamboo +Wood Tiles Rack
This listing is for an amazing vintage Mahjong set. It includes 161 tiles, four wood and metal racks, two pairs of dice, dozens of scoring coins, and the original case with two keys. It also comes with two books about Mahjong. All but thirteen of the tiles appear to be carved "butterscotch" bakelite or catalin. The other tiles include three carved dovetail bamboo tiles and ten painted wood tiles. These tiles appear to have celluloid faces and we believe they would be considered "two tone". The tiles measure about 1-1/4" by 7/8" by 1/2" Two of the dice are red and white and the other pair is smaller and green and white. The contents of the set appear to be in good condition overall with some typical wear from age and use. The case has some damage, mostly on top, including one detached piece of trim and another missing piece of trim.
