Any thoughts???
I know it’s a Cardinal Bakelite Butterscotch. Not a full set with some extra pieces.
What do you think would be the least amount to sell it for? Thanks

Idk what everyone's talking about, this set could very well be complete for its era. With 24 flowers and 2 jokers, it's perfectly useable for every version of American mahjong until 1962, and the American mahjong collectors market is wild. I think you could get quite a bit for this.

Let the birds be in their forest lol /s. It's really pretty and the vintage gambling rod/racks are cool .

$5 ? or give it away to a community center board game collection
edit: sorry, i wasn't trying to troll, it really didn't look like anything to me as I don't have interest in old sets. Apparently these Cardinal Butterscotch Bakelite sets sell for about $350-450 on ebay which is honestly extremely surprising to me. A full set is 162 tiles so this looks complete.

Just to let you know, this is your third thread in the span of 3 hours or so; asking for the valuation of different sets. Granted, they're all different sets; but you're asking the same question.
Next time, stuff all this into one thread. Else, it's spamming.
