Vintage Bakelite Loose Beads Butterscotch Amber Tested Chunky Retro Beads

This listing features a quality lot of 12 genuine vintage Bakelite loose beads in a rich butterscotch / amber tone with natural banding visible throughout. The beads have a bold, chunky rectangular form and a warm surface patina that reflects their age and authentic vintage character.
