This strand of interlocking Czech glass beads is called "SNAKE" trade beads because of its similarity to the snake vertebrae. They date back from the early 1900's. These beads have been molded and the strand is in pretty good condition. Great to be used as spacers. The beads are about 6mm in diameter. Some strands may have up a few beads of other colors mixed in. Black color is hard to find!
