Aren't these the cutest little glass bottles ever! Look at how tiny they are next to the tube of Delica beads! These are another "find" from my latest antique shop excursion. I have no idea how old these are but judging from the yellowed tape and typewritten labels they date back several decades. I'm not sure of their original purpose, but several contained a jumpring or two so these may have been vials for storage of jewelry findings and watchmaking parts. Nowadays, plastic bags and containers have become the ubiquitous method for storage of jewelry findings and such, so these little bottles are a treasure and the perfect vehicle for carrying beads in my travel tin!
