- Round 3.5mm opaque turquoise vintage Czech glass beads, 23-inch strands
- The equatorial band on these beads identifies them a Prosser beads
- The molded bead-making technique was invented by the button-making Prosser bothers in 1830's in Bohemia (now Czech Republic) and named after them.
- Great quantities of Prosser beads were made for the African trade
- I heard a few decades ago that the Prosser factory had been dismantled and moved to Morocco, but I haven't been able to confirm this.
