Can’t see drilling those, it would require wire and not fiber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love trade beads, chevron, bone and shell, furnace glass, millefiori, vaseline, Czech glass and more! That 6th pic reminds me of ribbon candy. I want a giant jar full of those! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmoozer Posted May 7, 2023 Report Share Posted May 7, 2023 Not African but SW Indian from the Santa Domingo Pueblo. Picked up today at a local estate sale. We headed into town and saw the sign, drove 2 miles to find out it was a house 3 down from us on the beach. A neighbor I had spoken to a few times while walking the beach, passed away last year. based on the clasps, thinking early 1900’s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
