All 12 bamboo-and-bone tiles were hand-selected from early-1920s vintage sets, dating to the period when Mahjong was first promoted in the United States and embraced by elite American players. During the late 1920s.

This set honors that original craftsmanship while allowing your vintage Mahjong set to remain playable, authentic, and historically respectful.

Each tile has been thoughtfully restored, with plastic wood filler used where needed to repair imperfections. Premium matte vinyl decals are then individually hand-cut and carefully applied, followed by a protective matte seal to ensure lasting durability while preserving the authentic vintage aesthetic.
