Description:

I am very pleased to offer this lovely vintage MJSA (Mah Jongg Sales of America) Mah Jong game for adoption from my personal Mah Jong collection.

Mah Jongg Sales of America (MJSA) were located in San Francisco originally in the 1920's and appear to have been the largest importers of Mah Jong games into the US.

Both Bakelite and bone & bamboo games were sold under the Mah Jongg Sales of America logo and their font and spelling of Mah Jong with a double G were copyrighted by the founder Joseph Babcock.

This particular game is a soaring sparrow style game and is an early style from the late 40's.

This game has 152 tiles - including 16 flowers - 4 sets of bouquets each numbered 1-4. The style of white, red and green dragons is unique to MJSA.

There are 4 beautiful swirled Bakelite racks in butterscotch, tangy lemon, medium green and burgundy. Each rack has a complimentary Bakelite E.

The case is sturdy and has the usual scuff marks (nothing major). It does still has its original Bakelite handle. This one is quite different - it is slightly transparent.

This game is totally versatile - you can play traditional Chinese rules or, with the lovely 16 natural flowers, you can play NMJL (National Mah Jong League) rules. No hunting for orphans!

Take me home I am ready to be adopted!
