Vintage Mahjong Bakelite Bracelet – SOLD

Amber Bakelite Mahjong tile, elasticated to form a bracelet, from the 1930s – 1950s, probably American.

The stretch elastic has been renewed to ensure wearability. In between each tile is a brown bakelite bead.

Size: The un stretched inner size is 2″ diameter, but will stretch to fit over any hand size.

Condition: Excellent Vintage 

Age: 1930s -1950s
