Vintage and rare mid-twentieth century early 'John Jaque' mah jong set in a card and wooden box with bamboo tiles, unusually delicate bone scoring tiles, metal wind markers and bone dice. The carving and colouring on the tiles is good quality and the 'nine of circles' is an uncommon design. The box, like so many early card and wood sets, has seen better days but is still intact although it now sports vintage tape repairs.
