Vintage Jaques Mah-jong, Mahjong set.
A good complete Mah-jong, Mahjong, Mah Jongg set in mahogany case. The set is not all that old and comes complete with scoring sticks, wind discs, Mah Jongg dice, 4 ebonised full size tile racks and 4 trays of painted tiles with bamboo backs (total of 144 tiles). Also in the case are 8 joker tiles, 4 plain tiles and 4 marked tiles. There are also four custom made large mahogany tile racks to accompany the set. Between World War I & II, Mahjong became an enormously popular after dinner activity and thankfully this fantastic game is now enjoying a resurgence in popularity. This set is made by Jaques.
Mah-jong is a four-player game involving skill, strategy, and calculation, as well as a certain degree of luck. Depending on the variation which is played, luck can be anything from a minor to a dominant factor in success. The object of the game is to build complete suits - or melds - while keeping an eye on your opponents and judging how close to winning they seem to be. As in poker it is important to know when to play aggressively and when to resort to defensive play. It is enjoyed not only as a social activity and a form of family recreation, but also for gambling and serious competition. The game is played with a set of tiles based on Chinese characters and symbols, bamboos, dots and characters. Although there are many variations in the way Mahjong is played and scored, the basic pieces used in the game are quite similar all over the world. A standard Mahjong set will contain playing pieces called "tiles," a pair of dice, a number of stick-like counters used to keep track of the score, and eight "bonus tiles" not used in play. Many Mahjong sets have the numbers 1~9 printed on the suit tiles to make it easier to identify their values.

Very good, all that appears to be missing are the rules (these can be found on the internet).
