Strand Vintage Small Glass "Pirate" Trade Beads (200-400 Yrs) Historic Beads

Description

STRAND OF SMALL GLASS "PIRATE" TRADE BEADS.
These beads were probably made in Europe, sometime   between the 1600s and the 1800s. The exact age of this strand is unknown, but they look to be vintage. Known as
"Pirate Beads,"
they are
very small,
at 1/8" or so in diameter (3 - 4 mm) and of varying thickness. The whole strand is 23" long with 20" of beads, for a total of
about
200 beads.
As you see in the photos, they are in very good condition with minor wear from age or use. (I offer 1-day shipping as a matter of course, and often ship the same day payment is received. I figure once you've paid for something, you own it, and might as well have it as soon as possible.) They are wonderful for displays, crafts and collections, and very attractive to wear.
