VINTAGE RARE SHAPE MERCURY GLASS BEAD CHRISTMAS TREE GARLAND

WONDERFUL, VERY UNUSUAL STRAND OF VERY FANCY RARE SHAPE VINTAGE MERCURY GLASS BEAD CHRISTMAS TREE GARLAND. What beautiful old glass beads. These would be perfect for your Vintage design tree. Very unusual style and design. Rich, vibrant coloration, in shades of gold and silver. There are four different types of beads on this strand. There are the large oblong, tube shaped gold colored beads, long extended pikes at each end, that measure about 1 3/4" each, large single gold colored beads, that measure about 1/2" each, smaller single gold colored beads that measure about 1/4" each, and the small, dainty single silver colored beads that measure about 3/16" each. Again, a very unusual strand. The beads are all in very good vintage condition, some pink color loss due to age, as shown in the photos. We have tried to remove any damaged or broken beads, so they are ready to be used and enjoyed. This lovely strand measures about 70" long, has a cardboard circle and a metal twist tie at each end. Each glass bead was hand blown in countries such as Germany, Czechoslovakia or Japan after WW II. Imports into the US then began in the late 1940's, into the 1950's.
