The Ancient Chinese Game.
Tin-plate set in flat square box.

One of my most expensive sets.

Box (210x179x45mm) is American. Made of cardboard covered with black paper with a pasted
on label. Inside there is room for tiles, counters and dice.

Tiles (20x25x13mm) are little, tin-plate boxes. The top is ivory colored and printed with characters and pictures. The bottom is copper colored with on the sides a suggestion of dove tails. There belong no spare tiles to the set. Mistake: the Characters for
6 and 9 are reversed.

Counters are painted, tin-plate strips. About forty strips per color.

Dice (2x) are made of bone with Western points.

There belong no wind indicators to the set.

Instruction manual is a belonging, undated booklet.  Also enclosed is a packing slip offering advice and service.
