What did a mah jongg set come in a century ago? Often a small chest of drawers. The 1920s case was a wooden box with a sliding front and five little drawers.
Yours should travel lighter. This zippered tote carries the Big Joker and has real room for a card, pencils, snacks and racks, plus a zip pocket for the things that always vanish between one game and the next.
A 1920s set often came in a wooden box with a sliding front and five drawers. In 1922, one maker offered a plastic set in a case covered in walrus-grain Fabrikoid. Later, many sets traveled in cases of artificial reptile skin, which is the look many people now picture in a grandmother's closet.
What goes in has grown too. The American game needs 152 tiles, racks and the current card, and many modern sets include spares for 166. Some groups today still ask each player to bring her own card and set. So the bag matters. It is how you arrive ready, and how you get home with every tile.
A zippered tote in 12 oz all-cotton canvas, 18 by 14 by 4.5 inches, with a front zip pocket and long handles, offered in natural or with colored trim. Undyed cotton shows natural flecks. Machine wash cold, adding a little soap to the washer first. As with everything we make, profits support hunger relief.
