Rare OLD Antique Micro Seed Beads-14/0 Greasy Rich Warm Red 14-16 gram hanks

Description: Gorgeous, very old (100 years plus) greasy red with a slight orange undertone, more of a melon fire red than a coral. Greasy means it transmits some light through the bead like polished jade does, as you can see this effect in the photo I show holding a hank up to the light coming through the window. I only have four intact hanks (and they are VERY delicate so if a strand breaks in transit, I don't issue refunds, but I do try to pack really well!). I will separately list a large quantity of broken hanks and strands and loose beads I have of this, which is all I have. That will be a lot offered as one price for 250 grams. One of these hanks is 24 grams, and the other three are 14-16 grams each. If you are the first to purchase, I will send you the biggest one! The beads are 1.5 mm and 25 beads per inch as strung. The hanks are 9-10 inches long. See photos for details. I recently bought out the remaining stock of a bead shop out West that is closing, and has served the Native American tribes in the area for over 40 years. Some of the beads I acquired were packed away in the basement of the large trading post, and were not offered to the public. Please put all of your selections in your cart BEFORE you check out, so you only pay one shipping cost regardless of how much you purchase. Shipping is only $3.75 US and $15 international. If the system charges you additional shipping, I will refund the difference but please try to do it as a batch first! I've used tiny antique micro seed beads for 35 years in my restoration of antique purses.
