We have collected garlands for years and use them for all occasions. We have a few trees in our houses with all different garlands from all different decades. Time to downsize the bins.

Here is a Vintage Gold Mercury Glass Bead Garland, 1950, Japan. The beads are 1/2 inch in size.
Features:
Color: Gold
The Ends of the garland have paper round cardboard pieces and old wires.
Size of bead - 1/2 inch
Length: approximately 43 inches
Condition: some beads are very good and some are in good condition. The ones in good condition are faded on one side probably due to sun exposure.
There are 5 broken beads that have not removed.

These were bought these from a 90 year old years ago. Look at the ends, they have old wire hangers.

These are true vintage and have been a part of my vast garland collection.
