I try to pop into Vinnies weekly but lately it is slim pickings.
But I did find these wonderful old rosary beads for 1 dollar! Not sure if they are made of ebonised wood and italian origins?

Normally made in Italy. "ITALY" is often printed on the reverse side of the cross, which is unfortunately missing. Not sure what the beads are made from - because of the seam in the middle of each bead, I think they might be plastic. Wood wouldn't have such a seam.

Thanks efesgirl for solving what they are made from:) I see what you mean about the seam on the beads, I didn't notice that before at all!
I agree its a pity the cross is missing:(
