I've received my Mah Jongg set from a very nice Ebay seller in Indiana. It is a vintage set from China, made for export in the 20's or 30's. The pictures come from the Ebay website-thank you to the seller!
It is a small box with 5 drawers. It contains over 140 bone and bamboo tiles, plus teeny dice and counting sticks and betting discs. Now I'm ready to learn to play Mah Jongg! Unfortunately, the box didn't come with directions!!! I've added a link to a great website: the Mah Jong Museum, which has lots of good info about the history of the game, sets and directions!
I know the game is a cross between dominos and gin rummy, and there are as many variations as there are groups that play it. Will keep you posted on my progress!

Your link to the Mah Jong Museum doesn't work (but I'm impressed that you added links, and even one to my blog - thanks!).
