• Details
  More than a game, this is a piece of history.
  These vintage bamboo & bone Mahjong tiles carry the warmth of a century’s play—the soft patina of bone, the golden tones of aged bamboo, and the craftsmanship of artisans long past. By adding these restored tiles to your set, you’re not just completing it—you’re preserving the spirit of a traditional Chinese Mahjong set while welcoming it into the joy and excitement of American Mahjong gameplay. Rather than replacing your treasured set with a mass-produced, inexpensive alternative, you can keep its history alive—ready for today’s table.
  
  A Memento of the Past, Ready for Today
  I am proud to offer a set of 12 rare, vintage bamboo & bone Mahjong tiles—8 joker and 4 soap stickered tiles—each carefully preserved and restored to blend seamlessly with your original 1920s dovetailed Bamboo & Bone Mahjong set.
  
  Authenticity & Craftsmanship
  
  Each tile comes from an authentic 1920s bamboo & bone dovetailed Mahjong set, featuring:
  • Rare bamboo backing — naturally darkened over a century to a rich Golden Oak tone.
  • Genuine cow bone tops — each showing the warm, antique patina that only time can create.
  
  To make your set gameplay-ready, each tile has been topped with a carefully replicated decal:
  • Joker tiles — Red “JOKER” text with an abstract green design resembling either a fish in a bowl or a dragon head.
  • Soap tiles — Decal faithfully reproduced from a vintage Royal Depth Control Bakelite tile.
  • Aged bone tone background — matched to the patina of original dovetailed bone for seamless integration.

  Compatibility Tip: If you’re unsure whether these will match your set, please send photos (front, back, and side views) and accurate measurements—I’m happy to help determine fit.
  
  Handcrafted Sticker Process
  
  Each sticker is designed and produced by hand using:
  • Scissors, Microsoft design tools, and inkjet printing
  • Matte vinyl stickers printed with HP Tricolor or Canon ink
  • A final matte spray finish for protection
  
  While handcrafted stickers may not be as perfectly uniform as machine-made decals, they are made with care, attention to detail, and a passion for keeping vintage sets alive.
