Year of the Horse Joker
Sorry to bother you with such a small request. My friend just 'survived' cancer and the loss of her beloved horse....only to return to play and discover a joker missing from her favorite set...the year of the horse with the horse jokers.
I couldn't figure out any of the 'tiles wanted' sites or bulletin boards. Can you help?
Thanks so much.

Cynthia, your request is now posted on the Tiles Wanted bulletin board. It's going to be next to impossible to find a specific joker tile. If your friend has any extra tiles in her set, she's best advised to just make a sticker. See FAQ 7-T. But if somebody just happens to be able to help you, they might see this bulletin board post. Good luck! And just checking, surely you've already tried all the sources linked above? - Tom

Need More Flower Tiles
We would like to play some of the older cards that needed 20 or more flower tiles.
I would like to match the ones that we currently have in the sets.
I was not able to buy them from the company I got the sets from.
Is there a place that sells just flower tiles?

If the usual "loose tile" vendors (above) don't have any flower tiles that match your tiles, you should obtain any tiles that match yours, and sticker them. FAQ 7-T describes how to make stickers. - Webmaster

Or, perhaps we might be able to buy someone’s complete set. The set was originally sold by Yellow Mountain Imports.

Need any matching tiles
Mr. Tim Sloper/webmaster, I must thank you, first off, for your many helpful FAQs! I have a 1979 Chinese Mah Jongg set with no jokers. I finally found a mah jongg group to learn the game from but cannot play American game with my set. I took your advice & emailed Mr. Shim, Mr. Levine, Pat Mead, & CHarli. So far 2 strikes out. I have scoured every single entry on both EBay & Etsy to no avail. I need 5 tiles of any suit to match my unusual & large set. Could you please post this on your tiles wanted board? Also, if you know of any companies or individuals who make or can create such tiles please let me know. Thank you, Sue Hynicker Poodie53comcast.net

Marion, make sure you try the links atop this page - Matthew Shim, Carol Harper, the NMJL... but the sad truth is that it's going to be very difficult to find extra tiles for your set. Players of American mah-jongg are better off just buying a set designed for playing modern (post-1970) American mah-jongg. Good luck! - Tom Sloper

Looking for Tiles
Hi webmaster!
I'm Dries from Belgium and I've recently become a fan of mahjong, the game, but also the aged sets. Your website has been a great help to me, thanks for that!
I have stumbled upon a great set.. Nice tiles, very smooth and shiny bone.. Great bone to bamboo ratio.. In a typical Chinese box with drawers.. Even including beautiful betting sticks, dice and wind indicators,..
However, the set is missing its flowers and seasons.. It has 3*36 number tiles, 4*4 winds 3*4 dragons and 4 blanc replacement tiles. A total of 140 tiles.
The set has however, a very unusual shape, at least from my limited experience.. The surface of the bone is slightly curved, which makes them easier to stack on top of the equally curved bamboo backs.
To complete this set, I would need a minimum of 4 tiles.. Preferably flowers, seasons or blanc tiles. Even better would be 8 tiles, being both seasons and flowers.
The set is one of the nicest sets that I have seen so far, so I would really like to complete it. If you know any others that might help, please feel free to forward my email! Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Dries Maes

Hi, Rose.
Sorry to disappoint you. I don't have one of those sets, and I have no idea what company manufactured it. If you're not sure you need an E, make a big square as described in FAQ 7B.

May the missing tile be with you. You can try the tile sellers (see the Tiles For Sale board. But the likelihood of finding that specialized tile is very low.
