i can see small cylindrical "prosser" moulded beads of opaque white glass, and a bunch of white carved Turkish Meerschaum beads - that's what was often also carved into the bowls of tobacco pipes.The beads may not be terribly old-
My picture shows 2 turkish necklaces of beads like yours and some loose carved beads of Meerschaum from Tanzania that have been waxed and polished-
(trying to send the image but my system doesn't like to send it so will try again separately- it doesn't believe me when i reduce the image size... )
Thank you so much, I did Google that and it does appear to be the same style. I would love to see yours. Thanks for identifying the other ones as well, I know NOTHING about beads! I am going to be going through them, identifying them and selling them on etsy.
at last with Joyce's help, somehow the resized image has been transmitted- why the problem, i'm baffled...
anyway, enjoy!
Have you tried using the site "picresize.com?" I've found it's very easy to use and works very well. I always enter 255 in the space for the largest you want to make your photo and leave the other options as they come up. I think it usually says it will make your photo 50% smaller. It let's you review your photo and then you just have to download, then you can find it in your downloads pretty much immediately after. Just a suggestion.
