Vintage Christmas Package Ties and decorations came in a wide variety of styles in the 1950s and 1960s. We use them for decorating and crafting.
Sue uses them with making her corsages or upscaling corsages.
She has been going through her many bins and she does not have the heart to use the ones with Made in Japan labels or separate them.

Here is set of 7 Gold and Silver Mercury corsage or pipe cleaner package picks.
Features: The 7 picks are wired together with a Made in Japan label.
Each pipe cleaner stem has 24 to 25 gold mercury beads and 2 silver beads at the top. The beads are approximately 1 3/4 long on the pipe cleaner.
Measurement: approximately 5 x 3/4 inches
Condition: Very good, wear or paint loss on some of the beads which is consistent with age
