Vintage Bakelite small beads in Root Beer with 3/4 deep hole drilled into 0.479 in - 1.219 cm diameter USA made

A Lovely Rare Genuine Bakelite / Catalin small bead in Root Beer,
this bead is a hair under 1/2 inch.

the center hole has only been drilled 3/4 way through the bead, not all the way, This makes it ideal for a screw in eyelet to hang
Or
Drilling this hole all the way through would just take a second.

These are great for making jewelry, crafts, buttons, and make an instant necklace by just adding a chain. These are a wonderful and great for pins and decorating just about anything.

These are over 85 years old. All of them have tested positive using semi chrome polish. We also drilled one piece and the smell is Bakelite!

We do not sell the new Chinese Plastics.

There is NO cracking or splitting, however they do have some mild scuff & wear as you would expected 85 years old is just a part of the vintage charm,

They are being sold by the piece and we have more than one to sell!
