    ANTIQUE GREEN GLASS SAUCER SHAPED BEADS
    String of 43 Translucent Green Glass Beads
    What interesting old glass trade beads!
    I do not know if these are Vaseline glass beads as I do not own a blacklight to test them, but they look like other Vaseline glass beads that I’ve seen for sale.
    The sizes and shades vary, and there is one blue bead.
    These were purchased years ago (1970s) from a dealer in antique trade beads. Because I was inexperienced, I didn’t ask many questions. You can see in the photos that these beads are faceted rather than smoothly round.
    If you are interested in old trade beads and ethnic jewelry, check my auctions for future listings; I guess you could call mine a “living estate sale”.
    Measurements:
    18 inch string of 43 beads
    (I used a ruler with cm markings & chose one larger bead to measure)
    About 1 cm long x 16 mm inside width
    As with most antique trade beads, there is surface wear and pitting and chipping when viewed up close.
    Watch my auctions for more old trade beads, ethnic necklaces, brooches, turquoise & silver jewelry, etc. from my collection that will be listed in future.
    Please look at the photos & item description & ask questions before bidding.
    Shipping is USPS Priority postage by weight.
