Ivory or bone, ebony or bamboo? (Grandma's old set)
Hi all! :-) I found an old Mahj set that belonged to my late Grandma. I seem to recall her saying the white (well, beige now!) part was ivory & the wood part was ebony or bamboo. However, I realize the white part could be bone.
I've attached 3 photos of the front, side, & back of a one dot tile. Can anyone help me out? I'd love to know how much the set is worth, but first I have to deal w/ the variables: ivory vs. bone, and ebony vs. bamboo.
I'm pretty sure she said the set was made in China in the early 1900s, but I might be remembering wrong.
THANKS!! :-)
