[QUOTE="KSW, post: 3685191, member: 8708"]To begin with I nearly tossed them in the junk pile but I keep looking at them thinking they aren’t modern junk. I’d like to clean them but could end up stripping the white off altogether?. Or just a gentle wash and restring with some round black spacers? When did pressed plastic beads with a seam appear do you think? I’ve just realised what else makes them seem older, the sound of the beads clinking together , it’s a solid sort of clink like Bakelite not a dull tap like you get with modern plastic. Hard to describe a sound in words![/QUOTE]
