<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 9982871, member: 360&quot;]Aren&#039;t you lucky somebody here plays mahjong?</p><p><br /></p><p>The set (let&#039;s pretend for a minute that it is one, complete set) is about 70-80 years old. These sorta butterscotchy (I heard one friend call it an &quot;apple-juice&quot;) sets were made in the 40s, 50s, taking advantage of advances in plastics developments happening at the time. </p><p><br /></p><p>Something like this would&#039;ve been made in Hong Kong, and sold for export. And yes, if it was sold for export, then the tiles would likely have been numbered, to make things easier for non-Chinese readers to understand the game. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for what they&#039;re made of - Bakelite, also known as Catalin. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have a set similar to this, from the 1950s... </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]501295[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
