Ack replying to my own post with a clarification. Meant to write: "If you just walked into the post office and paid for FC it would not include...
Having these in the hand, the green spacer beads do have coating. But can see why it was confusing. Turns out they have partial coating. Every...
Just back. Thanks for the additional eyes on this. Evelyb, that is one thing odd about these. They are not fragile (like other foil ones I've...
Thank you, friends. Could be Czech, that was my other thought too. It is one of my favorite pieces. Sparks joy for sure. :)
Thanks all! I wondered if maybe 1960s Venetian, or thereabouts. I've never seen anything quite like them. Even the foiled beads I've had...
This is something I purchased for myself at an antique/collectibles show a few decades ago. Had no idea of maker/origin but knew I had to have...
I'd be thrilled with a fraction of that. Just realized that there is a place I could bring this to get a hands-on opinion. There is a bead store...
Just back, thanks for the additional posts here. This is great information. I know zip about this kind of thing, but decided to take a chance on...
Thank you, "Heishi" definitely points me in the right direction! :) Any idea if the way it is strung points to a country of origin? Appreciate...
Basically wondering how to search similar. Any keyword for these? The beads are all slightly different in color. 3 or 4 few seem translucent,...
Fantastic collection! I've sold a few like this, I think I had white one time and one time blue. Recall that they were so well made. I think...
FC does include DC does IF you are shipping through Ebay shipping or a similar service. As a side note, if you just walked into the post office...
On Ebay I always use first class for shipping if the item is 16 oz or less. A buyer probably has a dollar amount in their head for what they are...
Always show the entire piece if possible. Assuming there is no clasp? Agree that the Simichrome test looks a little funny -- positive is usually...
@evelyb30 Looks like a match to me, too. Nice sleuthing SBSVC! :)
I think this is a 1960s/70s piece plus or minus. Cannot see the clasp from the photo, but you mention it is a "newer style clasp". I think you...
First off, great story. That has to be some kind of record..."I've been collecting since I was 3 years old." Few could match that longevity. :)...
Cool piece! ("Kollmar Kette" no "k"). There are a number of pocket watch chains with that stamp online, should help with dating at least. No...
At least you have something that slips through now and then. My closest thrift (Goodwill) looks post-apocalyptic these days. One can hope for a...
Fabulous, SIS and Bakers. :):singing::kiss: Thank you! Edit: That is a reflection. This was hard to photograph! Actually I think I have to do...
