| Reference Number: Avaluer:705997 |
ANTIQUE CHERRY AMBER BAKELITE GRADUATED BEADS NECKLACE The featured item represents an endless ( no clasp) necklace or possibly mala/worry/prayer beads that measures approximately 15 1/2" long, measured on the outside. The piece weights about 53 grams but I've used a home postal scale so the actual weight can vary slightly.The necklace is made of 79 graduating in size oval beads ( central one being about 1" and the smallest about 3/8". The beads have cherry color with swirls... inside which are almost not visible at normal light but can be seen better with backlight. I have tested some of them with baking soda and moisten q-tip and the tip turns reddish but not the expected nicotine yellow. From what I've heard red and black bakelite will not always test as expected.The necklace comes in wearable condition with no major damages found but normal wear. The double string knot is at the lower area, 7 beads up from the large central bead, instead at the normal back of the neck position. SOLD "AS IS" >
