Victorian 1880s Beads Plus More Great Possibilities. For Sale

Never used describes the majority of this big bead batch even though they are old. I met a gentleman at the Tucson shows back in the early 1990s who'd purchased old bead inventory at a warehouse in Brooklyn, New York. All these seed beads came from him and were made in the 1880s except for the big bag of 15/0 Gold Lustre Burgundy beads that are drop dead gorgeous. There are many seed bead baggies in this lot, and I've also added vintage-gathered, cleaned, dried and dyed snake beads, a Navajo necklace with Juniper seed beads, earthtone batik dyed beads, sparkling rounded disk beads from the early 2000s, some alpaca crescent moon charms AND a chunk of copal I bought in New Zealand in 1994. All one money, clean and ready for creativity.
