Mah Jongg Set?

Could someone confirm if this is a Mah Jongg set?  It appears to be made out of bakelite.  Also any ideas of age?  Any help appreciated.

They are mahjong tiles.  Whether it's a (complete) set, I don't know.  You can determine that by looking here:

Rub the heck out of one of the tiles..if it smells funky..may be bakelite..then run it under hot water and if it smells funky still...then apply semichrome or 409 to a qtip ( i prefer semichrome) and lightly rub on one of the tiles..if the qtip turns tobacco yellow..then it is definitely bakelite.
