It has some interesting features - the fold out plastic board, the way the tile racks are held in the case for storage, the compartment for storing the tiles and... that bright blue!  There's none of that staid green colour scheme and cardboard here! It's brown and bright blue plastic all the way... very 70s.

The outer cardboard sleeve has signs of wear and use and a couple of tears, but it's condition is reasonable considering. Please note, there are no instructions included in this set, but standard instructions can be easily found online and printed.
