Description

The listing, Two Vintage Bakelite Mahjong Tiles has ended.

While out hunting over the past weekend I came across and bought a pretty large amount of these vintage Bakelite Mahjong game tiles and since I was able to purchase so many, I decided to list a few of them here for my fellow listians. This listing is for the 2 vintage Bakelite Mahjong game tile pieces you see in the photos. When vintage mahjong sets are missing pieces and incomplete these game tiles are very popular to re-purpose and have been made into jewelry. I believe these pieces are from 1940's-1950's, all though I can't be 100% sure of such. They seem to be in very good condition, the color to the images is bright and there appears to be no damage to them. The first photo you see is the fronts of the two tiles listed and the second you see is the back. These measure just over an inch by about 3/4 of and inch. Great for any vintage or antique collector but also great for anyone who would like to use these to make jewelry or for other craft projects. As with all of my vintage/used items thiese are being sold as is. Please review the photos as to the condition and authenticity. I do have a fair amount of knowledge but by far no expert in everything. Due to my current circumstances, I may not respond to your questions right away and your package may be shipped a few days late. If this is a problem for you DO NOT BID! My grandmother is suffering from cancer and her health is declining. I am helping to take care of her along with my Mom and her sisters. So my family is my priority. All rude comments will be flagged and users leaving them will be blocked. For this auction ONLY I am offering free shipping! Once and awhile I am able to do so on small items such as these. I ship USPS to the USA only. I do combine shipping (when safe), you will need to provide your zip code for a quote. I ship once a week. My home is smoke free but pet friendly. Please read Listia's rules and policies, as they are mine as well. Be sure to fan me for up coming auctions. Happy bidding!

I got these at a local flea market from a guy who had an entire bin of them. I come across complete mahjong sets that are playable every once and awhile at a local thrift store or at yard sales as well. You can get complete sets that are playable on eBay but they aren't cheap.

You're welcome. I know someone who plays mahjong and all the antique dealers down here know of the game because the vintage ones are collected by a lot of people.
