Pretty sure they are newer as well. But a nicer pair! If correct about newer, I would think if they were silver they'd be marked somewhere as...
Beautiful. Very interesting piece and history behind it! This is the kind of thing that would never show up where I live. Well, never say...
What a beautiful job you've done sorting and photographing, Laura. I can't imagine the hours it took to get this far. What an incredible sale....
Agree!! What a fabulous piece!
Wow, your thrift is putting some nice things out Brad. All from the same thrift?
Call me Patty Practical, but I really give things like this excruciating consideration when paying market rate. They give the weight of the...

Thanks. These are heavier than plastic, but one difference is that they are solid unlike a plastic bead which would be hollow. Might explain the...

Thank you for the link, AJ. I do appreciate you taking a look at these. :) I was wondering about what sort of looks like tool marks when you...
Thanks, AJ. :) Had a bit of a Bakelite obsession a few years ago, bought/sold quite a bit. I'm ruling out Bakelite (at least the vintage jewelry...
