European 13

Thin cardboard 5-drawer box with full color Mandarin.

Tiles (20x30x8mm) are Western. Made of blank, unvarnished wood. Printed in three colors with characters and graphics. The West wind also shows the French O of Ouest. The color green has faded a lot.

Counters are crude strips of colored wood.

Dice (2x) are made of black wood with golden Western points.

There is however an indication of the date of the set: on the inside of the lid is a handwritten text in Dutch referring to 1929.
