<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 303880, member: 51"]Can't tell from the photos whether the whole thing is hand knotted, or if the parts that separate the beads are rusted. If hand knotted, you don't want to get an old string wet, never mind the rhinestones. So don't dunk it in water or anything. If the beads are dirty, for example from cigarette smoke, you might be able to just wipe them one at a time (carefully as not to stretch the string) but it require a labor of love, and might not be worth the time it would take. If those spacers are rusted, not much you can do, other than sell for repair/parts which probably wouldn't amount to much.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is kind of an odd piece, but I can see why you picked it up. Definitely unusual.</p><p><br /></p><p>On last thing, I usually associate "apple juice" with bakelite, not glass.</p><p><br /></p><p>It's a fun piece, I hope someone gets to enjoy it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
