Antique Trade Beads
These beads were mostly manufactured in various locations throughout
Europe and traded around the Mediterranean and throughout Africa. Some of these beads are 200 years old, and all are at least
50 years old. Cracking, and pitting is common in the antique beads and adds to their general value, proving they truly are
antiques. I started out putting all the trade beads on one page and realized it was going to be a huge page so I started
separating it into types of beads. There are some links to these pages with specific types below, along with a few lots of
beads underneath that I haven't made pages for yet. Please inquire about quantity discounts for beads!

Set of white powdered glass beads from the later half of the 19th century. There are only seven beads on the photo,
but I found another one and added it into the set, so you will actually receive eight beads total!
