Marilyn,

    Did the beads have an odor at all times or only when they where
    warmed up such as in your hand or under warm water? Do you recall
    what the smell was? If they had a smell at all times it may very well
    have been due to your grandmother applying perfume but if they had a
    smell when they became warm then they may have been Celluloid ( smell
    of camphor - thinks Vick's Vapo rub), Galalith ( smell of wet wool ),
    Bakelite ( carbolic acid - think formaldehyde ) or Lucite ( this had
    a smell similar to flowers but it needed to be very hot such as with
    a hot pin or extremely hot water ) 

I hope that sparks a memory.
