Limited Quantity of these on hand!
These are plastic cylinder beads from around the late 1950's. They make a perfect modern decorator candle for dollhouse miniatures! (You know-- the popular ones about 4" wide x 9" tall in real life?)

The photo is showing the beads on their sides and then a top view. Penny in photo for size reference.

The white bead is a cylinder shape. It's barely under 3/4" tall and 1/4" wide. Add a piece of waxed thread for a wick and you have an instant candle.

There are 2 red beads...a cylinder that's 5/8" tall and 3/16" wide, and a rectangular shape that's 3/4" tall x 1/4" wide.

You can easily embellish or paint these beads for more fancy candle effects! Think weddings, home decor...add a bit of greenery at the base for a holiday look. 1 bead per package. Please change the quantity to the number of beads desired and select shape from the popup menu below this description..

These make a very interesting candle or lamp base. The beads have a pretty swirl pattern to them but are mostly dark blue.

They are approximately 5/8" tall x 3/8" diameter. There is a hole in them like a typical bead. These are estimated to be from the 1950's or 1960's and are some kind of plastic.

White Faux Scrimshaw Bead set of 2     $ 1.00  
Add to basketBasket
These make a very interesting candle or lamp base, although they have a slightly rounded end so they'd need to be glued to something to stand upright. The beads have a pretty carved floral pattern to them reminiscent of scrimshaw.

They are just shy of 3/4" tall x 3/8" diameter. There is a hole in them like a typical bead. These are estimated to be from the 1950's or 1960's and are some kind of plastic.

Chinese Bead Set     $ 1.00  
Add to basketBasket
You get a set of 4 assorted Chinese handpainted ceramic beads. These would be great for lamp bases, vases, etc. for your dollhouse or mini scene! They have tiny Chinese friendship symbols on them. Note- shapes may vary.

The tall cylindrical bead is approximately 3/4" long.

Sorry the photo looks odd. It was done on a scanner through a plastic bag so the beads wouldn't roll around. :0)
