Hi Peter, The beads you show are European (German?) phenolics made for the African market, approx. 1930s onwards. I do not know who did the decoration and would only be speculating to say perhaps added in Africa.....a nice touch though. Here is a huge link.....though I searched "amber" I was actually hoping to find some on phenolic plastic beads, and there are some such posts there. Including a simple brine test and lots of images and discussion. Suggesting to anyone to noodle around with the search feature.....we have years of discussions that are as interesting now as then....... All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
