1: Traditional Boxed Set:
box and tiles
tile samples
Typical (Chinese) export set from the 1920's, with western numerals,
bone counting sticks, dice and ming.
Rosewood chest with 5 drawers and slide-in front. I made the two larger bone dice myself :-)
PLEASE HELP! I need a slide-in front for this set!     pega@xs4all.nl -    Thanks!!!

2: "Ma Chiong", concave wood/celluloid:
box and tiles
close-up of tiles
inside of booklet
"Ming Ma-Jong" set: Cardboard chest of drawers,
The booklet, from Admiral Oriental Line (steamship line) 1923, is not original to the set, but came with it.
The celluloid faces slide into the tiles, which have runners.
Being concave, the faces of the tiles don't wear from use. However, the set looks unused.

3: American Bakelite set:
the set
another view in case

Inscription on box is first two lines from a traditional poem:

        if you wish to see further,
        then you must rise higher".

Features: gold on some honours (see close-ups).
Seasons include a set of 4 ladies.

All dots are intricately carved and "flowered" from 1 thru 9 instead of simple circles within circles...

These tiles are spares for trading...
