<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 9620088, member: 51"]Definitely the beads are best! And I think you are correct to call them Cherry Amber Bakelite. If you do a Simichrome test to confirm Bakelite, include a photo of the test result, but they sure look good from the photo. If it was me, and I was selling on Ebay, I'd sell as an AUCTION. I think you might do pretty well with those, start at your "happy price", but let the market decide. Don't let the missing clasp stop you. Just mention it "for repair" or something. People will buy these for the beads. Definitely measure, include the width of the largest beads, and if you have a gram scale, weigh the necklace and include a photo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
