vintage Japan Christmas decorations, lot mercury glass beads garlands, mini window balls & fancy shapes

Lot of vintage strings of glass beads for Christmas trees, made in Japan. There's some lovely fancy beads here, 'hard candy' style shapes and indented balls. These are great for window swags or the mantelpiece, too.

There's six different strings in this lot - all have wear, and some broken beads. Broken and missing beads make these strands shorter than they were originally. I tried to measure the beaded garland length as they're shown, but you'll want to tighten the strings and remove the broken beads.

Most of them are about 2 1/2 yards. Approximate lengths are:

painted pink silver beads 2 1/2 yards - silver beads 2 1/2 yards - gem beads 2 1/2 yards - green beads a little over 2 yards - multi colored beads 2 1/2 yards - window ball beads 2+ yards.
