Vintage Chinese Fortune Sticks W. Instruction Booklet

I just received them! I am really pleased. Hand made with good workmanship. Very authentic looking. Clearly marked with the book included. Well worth the money! I will get at least 2 more sets for gifts. Thank you....thank you!!!

Fun! The container is lovely and the sticks are very legible, written in both Chinese and numbers. The booklet is made to look old and reads backwards from right to left. It appears that not all the "fortunes" are very bright & sunny, but some seem quite "negative" --they're not afraid to tell you "no"---but I guess that's part of the fun? I wouldn't take this as a serious "divination" technique, but more as entertainment and fun.

This is a great set of chinese fortune sticks. My sister loved them for her birthday! The only complaint I have is that some of the paint on the cover was chipped off when I received it, however, the chipped look does add to the vintage feel of the case. I do think it does look a little cheap though!

exactly as shown.

I wasn't sure about this , but when I got it I was very happy it is in a nice container and the it looks like something out of an antique store. Had fun playing it ,with my friends. Came on time and package was in good shape. Would buy from again.

Not as good quality as I would have liked (some of the printing on the sticks either didnt take, or has come off. And the bamboo sticks are splintering badly). However, it does fit the overall description of being a pseudo-vintage set of fortune sticks. And could easily pass for being old. It looks great on the shelf, and I look forward to putting them to good use.

Not often do you find such a genuine imitation of the old stuff on internet. This came as a surprise cos the feel of the sticks and the container look old. And it came with all the necessary explanations for those who are not very good at these divination things. So its good value for money.

Wow, so disappointed. Maybe I received a bad batch, but the printing on my sticks is so bad that only 15 or so are readable. I'm not even exaggerating--the printing is atrocious. About 5 of the sticks aren't even printed! Others are double-printed, printed half off the stick, printed halfway... basically any sort of printing defect you can think of. I get that these are supposed to look shabby like they've been sitting in an old temple for half a century, but it defeats the purpose if you can't even read the numbers on them! The only good thing is that they did a great job of making everything look like it's genuinely old and grotty, rather than something fresh off the assembly line that's been artificially aged. I've actually used fortune sticks in Chinese temples, and the real ones look just as gross as these except you can actually read what they say. The canister has cool details like how the inside is lined with old Chinese newsprint. The lid is just as loose as everyone says it is, however. It's so loose it rattles around--like about half a centimeter too wide. The little booklet is printed on yellowed paper, with one side printed in traditional Chinese and the other side printed in English. It's basically a good prop, except for the fact that the main attraction--the sticks--are essentially unusable.
