Vintage five-hole yellow batons

These are most likely a German bead from the 1950s. These have a wonderful yellow swirl design with lighter and darker yellows swirling together. The top of the bead is also faceted which gives it some additional light play. The beads have five holes which go across the short side of the beads. This would make them perfect for a complex bracelet or to sew on clothes. The bead is domed on the front and flat on the back. The bead is 26 mm from top to bottom and 8 mm from hole to hole. The bead is 4 mm thick. From the center of one hole to the center of the next is about 3 mm. Price is for 10 beads.
