Brock Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 Hello, i found these this morning.i am guess Czech or German. No idea though really of place or time. Largest is 1 1/4 inch length, aprox 1 inch wide The 2 others are about the same at just under 1 1/4 inch I personally have never seen beads like this or this size. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted June 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 Here is a picture with a notable chip. The other 2 are in vg condition. I'm hoping it may help with the identification of the origins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 A total guess from me . . . torch-made macrame beads from the 1960s or 70s - Hippie stuff. 🙂 They're very pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted June 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 Hello, thanks. I did think of that as well. Definetly quite possible. They have the trade marks of rudimentary handmade. The colours are strikingly similar to german colours... for what thats worth. 2 of the holes have a more tapered entrance/exit. They are pretty, eye catching hence in my possesion now.

Brock Posted June 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 Cheers.Been learning a very tiny bit about beads in the last day . Had to google mandrel. They could be newer. The guy had them buried in junkalanche mountain. He told me i was the first person to see them in 20 years so that means it could be their age. The only thing i can say about beads in the wee bit of digging. Information is sparse regarding old beads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
