Rosaries from the rosary workshop - LEA series index
LEA  LIMITED EDITIONS  II
 VINTAGE & ANTIQUE BEADS (1920s -30s, some 50s)  - pg 2 of 2
One of our European venders told us that many of the old pre WWII pressed beads from Germany were actually buried to protect them as the bombing approached.  Eventually the sites were lost only to be unearthed in recent time during construction of homes and industrial parks.

NOTE:  We asked Venders at International Gem and Mineral Show in Tucson why such a sudden burst of old beads was coming out of Germany and Austria -  they said the old beadmakers are dying off.  Family members, in the process of settling estates are selling off these private (museum quality) bead collections to US markets.  They will soon be gone - never to return.
