Mahjong Joker Stickers: Bakelite Mah-Lowe Style (Set of 10)

My goal is to create a variety of Mah-Lowe sticker designs that reflect the unique character of aged ES LOWE tiles from the 1930s–1960s—carefully studied and collected over the past 20 years. Each design is thoughtfully developed to capture the subtle tones, textures, and vintage charm of original sets.

Yes—the Mah-Lowe decal artwork is AI-assisted, created according to my detailed specifications to ensure accuracy, balance, and authenticity.

If your set already includes original Mah-Lowe tiles, you are welcome to send clear, straight-on photos. I will do my very best to create matching stickers that blend seamlessly with your existing tiles—so they feel like they’ve always belonged.

After more than 27 years in software development, I was forced into early retirement. During that time, I realized how many vintage Mahjong sets were missing Joker tiles. I reached out to sellers, hoping to find matching pieces—but often the answer was simply, “only what’s listed.”

What began as a frustrating search turned into a meaningful opportunity.

That journey led to the creation of BunthyVintageRetro on Etsy, built on a simple mission:
to offer high-quality, hand-crafted Mahjong stickers and provide thoughtful, personalized customer service for collectors who value authenticity and detail.

• Matte (Recommended): Soft, non-reflective finish designed to mimic the aged look of vintage Mahjong tiles for seamless blending.
• Gloss: Brighter, more vibrant finish with a slight shine for a bold, refreshed appearance.

Matte = Looks clean even when handled often
Gloss = Cleans faster but shows every touch


✦ Care Instructions (Gloss Finish):
To clean, gently wipe with a soft microfiber cloth. For fingerprints or residue, use a lightly damp cloth with a touch of mild soap, then dry immediately. Avoid harsh cleaners or abrasive materials to preserve the glossy finish.

✦ Easy Care:
Matte finish naturally minimizes the appearance of fingerprints and smudges, keeping your tiles looking clean even with regular play. Simply wipe gently with a soft cloth if needed.



Handcrafted with Care

Unlike mass-produced stickers, each one is carefully designed and crafted using:
• Microsoft Design Tools for precision
• Inkjet Printing on Premium Gloss Vinyl Paper
• Hand-Cut for Authenticity (slight variations may occur)
• Gloss or matte Spray Finish for a Polished Look

These stickers preserve the vintage charm of your set while providing an easy way to restore or customize your Joker tiles.

Application Instructions:
1. Positioning – Before peeling, place the sticker over the tile to ensure proper alignment.
2. Application – Carefully remove the backing and apply with precision, centering it on the tile.
3. Smooth & Secure – Use your fingers to firmly press the sticker down for a long-lasting bond with the Bakelite surface.
