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.
