*** NOTE: (Thisinformation is included on the description for all of my vintage mahjong sets.)This is a \"Vintage\" mahjong set. It was not manufactured utilizingmodern technology with precision controls and exact results. Pieces and partswere in many cases made by hand, up to 90 years ago. There may be somevariation in color and/or size as well as manufacturing artifacts or remnantssuch as surface cracking, scratches or flea bites in the Catalin, Bakelite,resin, Celluloid, Lucite, or other plastics as the material cooled. Chips andflea bites may be a result of materials used as fillers in the plastics or howthe set was played with or stored. There may also be variation in the paintcolors from suit to suit if the set tiles were painted at different times usingdifferent batches of paint.Some tiles are made from more than one type of materials. Some of the pieces ofa tile may shrink differently than others and over time the tile components mayseparate. Game tiles may also separate during normal play. If the piecesseparate, a simple tacky, water clean-up, crafter\'s glue will work nicely toreattach the pieces. On rare occasion, pieces may separate during shipping. Ifthe set arrives with separated tiles they can be easily repaired as outlinedabove. Please get in touch with me and I will work with you to resolve thesituation to your 100% satisfaction. Separated tiles are not in and ofthemselves reason to return a set as the repair is both simple and quick.The wood, bone and bamboo pieces may not all match perfectly in size, as mostwere carved, crafted and assembled by hand. This also includes the woodenstorage boxes. In an effort to get the product to market quickly, many of thevintage wooden boxes were made with green wood. As the wood dried, it may havesplit, shrunk or cracked in places. This is what makes the sets vintage andunique and brings the wonderful character and charm that makes mahjong sets sovery popular. Vintage sets are unique in that they bear the maker\'s personaltouch.Vintage metal will show its age and character. The money holders, case locksand other metal components may have an uneven patina, spots of oxidation ornormal use wear associated with age. Additionally, if dissimilar metals wereused to make the parts, there will be areas of galvanic corrosion where the twometal types are joined.If you are expecting that all of the pieces match in size and color exactlythen you probably do not want a vintage set. Please look carefully at myphotographs, read my description carefully, and ask questions before offerding orpurchasing. Additional information regarding vintage mahjong sets can be foundonline. Thank you.***
