One small antique shop had a begleri and komboloi hanging high up on a wall and I asked about them. The shop owner said his grandfather made them many years ago and as long as he remembered those had been hanging there untouched, but, he had a box of them in a side room. The box had many handmade komboloi strung up virtually untouched since his father moved them to this room after the grandfather's death in 1984. The grandfather was born in 1915/16, a true artist though I did not write his name down to remember it. They had a WWII US Army helmet, vintage estate smoking pipes and a lot of other things that I compiled and negotiated a generous offer to buy. Komboloi is usually made of amber or different forms of plastic, but these are wooden beads. These are not new, they are at least 40 years old, likely 50 to 60 years old. Check out all the pictures for a better understanding of the condition.
