Featured in this lot is are three (3) Russian Vaseline Glass Trade Bead Necklaces featuring large faceted transparent glass trade beads interspersed with smaller transparent red and dark red barrel discoidal beads, discoidal blue discs, copper hollow beads, copper cornerless cube beads, trade beads, opaque yellow faceted, opaque orange rondelles circa late 1800s - early 1900s. Native American Indians have used beads as part of their attire for centuries. These beads were made from shells, stone, wood, copper, bones and antler and other locally available materials. Glass beads for trade were introduced to the Native Indians initially by European explorers, and later by The Hudson's Bay Company and other fur trading companies. Lewis and Clark introduced glass beads into new areas they traversed, but they also saw glass beads that had been obtained by Native Americans on the Pacific coast from other traders, who then in turn traded them to interior tribes. As the fur trade expanded westward, forts and trading posts were established, and the availability of trade goods, which certainly included an expanding selection of glass beads, grew. The large trade necklaces are sinew strung, are in overall good condition with wear more evident on the larger faceted trade beads from age and use. Choker style necklace jute and leather thong strung/tied is in good overall condition with wear noted from age and use. Largest necklace measures 18"L, Red Russian Vaseline and copper bead necklace is 13"L, choker is 7"L
