Colors may still vary from one monitor to another. Measurements are carefully done, but should still be considered approximate. Please look at all photos carefully and close-up as they are a major part of the description. I take lots of photos, including reverse/inside, but not all are posted so just let me know if you need to see additional pix of an auction item before bidding. Listings include only the specified item /s and no display props, supplies to complete, or finished items unless specifically listed as such. If you have questions, concerns, need photos, want to know if I will combine ship certain items, etc. please contact me , preferably early on as I will not likely be available in the auction's final hours and minutes Regarding Combined Shipments I do not have combined shipment set automatically because there are things that I prefer to not/will not combine, *whether it concerns heavy + fragile items, items that if combined will require packaging materials that I do not stock or have with me/available, or a significant amount of time to unpack/reconfigure/repack properly. If you hope to combine shipments for dis-similar *items as noted above, please contact me before bidding to avoid disappointment. For combined shipping, multiple auction wins must be during that same week (usually end Sunday p.m. into Monday). please DO NOT PAY until I have sent you a combined invoice if buying multiple items; depending on my schedule, it might be some hours before I can do so. If you pay for your items separately, they will be shipped separately. Hopefully, your item/s will reach you quickly and safely. Should you receive a damaged shipment, please photograph the packaging along with the contents and retain all packaging and all pieces of damaged items so everything can be returned to be . Thanks!) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UP FOR AUCTION TODAY--- ANOTHER GREAT ITEM FROM ~VTGGOODIESGIRL! ~~~ A Vintage Mercury Glass Bead Garland to add retro flair to your holiday and home/office/or business! Please read the following info and before reading the description about this lovely garland, which will be carefully packed in a decorative tin for added protection during shipping. I am listing about one dozen garlands at this time but each one is being sold separately...should you bid on and win more than one please wait until I combine your invoice before payment or they will be shipped separately! Combined shipments will have each garland in a separate tin. Please note that to my knowledge all of these bead garlands are vintage and I have owned them for at least 20 years, but these garlands were very popular in the 1950s but the exact vintage is unknown as is the manufacturer name or country/origin; some strings are original, others have been restrung with sturdy thread with the original wire ends reattached; most of these strings have at least a few broken double beads, left as is because the hole can often be turned towards the tree and be unseen but buyer may trim off carefully with scissors if desired (the beads are actually quite forgiving and I've rarely had the remaining half of a double bead break) ; there may be excess string on some garlands as a result of bead breakage, I've left it in the event buyer wishes to add more beads; most garlands have at least some beads that appear dull /show oxidation, which is typical of mercury glass items; others may have exterior bead color loss and/or some fading likely due to exposure to prolonged light garlands may or may not have the original cardboard end tags, usually round or star shaped. THIS LISTING IS FOR GARLAND "J" only...another one with simply great patina Length is approximately 104 inches Beads- are all one size , SMALL , about 1/4" in diameter Beads- are DOUBLES as well as SIX or more TRIPLE BEADS...having 2 round beads along with an elongated bead Beads- are MULTI-COLOR Beads- are all ROUND String appears to be ORIGINAL Garland does not have Cardboard End Tags At least one bead has a hole in it These garlands are wonderful draped on a tree, twined through a floral arrangement or around a wreath, displayed in clear glass jars, especially candy store style, etc. The smallest size bead garlands are especially nice for small size/table-top trees. TIP-for these and other garlands I have always used ornament hangers to ensure that the garland stays on the tree branches, as they can easily slide off. Thank You for visiting my auction page and Good Luck! /vtggoodiesgirl --------------------------------------------- There are no smokers or pets in my home, but I cannot vouch for the past of all auction items or for recycled shipping materials (boxes, bubble wrap, peanuts, batting, etc.). I get closeouts at a local paper distributor...any deli and meat trays and bags are new, NOT used or recycled! I don't sell soiled, nasty items, but that doesn't mean there won't be some marks, smudges, fold lines, creases, slight odors, and so on...if anything more than that, I will mention it specifically. Unless otherwise noted I have not laundered washable items, nor cleaned others beyond dusting and a light wipe down simply because I don't know enough about the materials involved but do know most collectors/buyers have cleaning products and processes they prefer. I rarely iron fabric, garments, curtains, etc., for similar reasons, plus want to avoid possible damage or marks, and so on, This item will be carefully packaged for shipping via USPS Mail I ship to the continental US , lower 48 states, only and within 3 business days of receiving verification of payment.
