The Husby and I went to a huge yard sale last weekend and I had just about given up finding anything good when I came across a big box of jewelry findings. A lot of it was not so hot, but there was a little package of these great vintage looking beadcaps that I just knew would be perfect with some little glass marbles I've had for several years. I thought they worked so well that now I am on a quest to find more bead caps like these. If you look closely you can see that these have the little bale(?) attached to the top which makes them perfect for the little marbles, given that they don't have a hole drilled through them.
I found the glass marbles at Smith & Hawken in Los Gatos, California a number of years ago and bought a big scoop of them. They had a big bin of these for awhile then I never saw them again. They kind of have a silver finish to them but you can still see through them. These two have tarnished but they look kind of old this way so I didn't try to clean them up.
