    Nice rosewood box and drawers in very good condition (see pictures), with the front panel broken (see pictures, picture #10,11).  The box still functions without it.
    Of all the tiles, "8 cylinder" (or '8 dot', '8 circle') is missing, but you can use a substitute, see for example  picture #3, 3rd column, 2nd row from the bottom.  There are 8 blank "White Tiles", usually only 4 are used, so you have extras to be used as substitutes in the future.  Also, the single piece sitting on top is from a redundant Flower Set, because according to the Instruction, you can play with one set of Flower Tiles.  The rules about the usage of Flower Tiles are flexible.
    So, this set is
    ready to be played
    .
