Description: This sampling of six vintage to antique beads is a must-have for any bead collector; I collected each as an example of specific trail beads, all Venetian or from Murano. The scarce or uncommon trail examples are the long "Yellow Jacket" barrell bead that's 21.5 mm by 12.5 mm, the yellow trail "Rattlesnake" at 6.5 mm by 12 mm, and the barrel with what is either a feathered cadmium sulphide trail or a lime green? Has anyone ever seen this example on a bead card? Handmade with care, these beads are sure to be a conversation starter. The remaining one are different examples of "Rattlesnake" or "Tire" beads. Two are particularly well done, leaving a pattern that does look like a tire tread. Be sure to look at my other items because I combine as many items as I can safely pack in one box. It saves a bundle on postage, especially on beads and other small items. I charge no fees other than what the USPS charges for postage, regardless how many separate listings are purchased by you. If the total weight makes the USPS charge more, then I do pass that along to you. I typically choose to uses USPS Ground Advantage but if I think the small things are worth it, I’ll charge Priority; you can always ask that I adjust the invoice. Please realize that the USPS doesn’t recognize “fragile” anymore, but I pack very well. 3 different clerks have told me “we don’t have a fragile class of mail.” Sorry, no returns. Here's a note about my bead collection - it includes examples from vintage to ancient, dating from the 1950s back to 22,000 BCE. Documentation is reference to established research through published literature, journals, books, photographs, and scientists. Holding antique beads make me think of the hands of generations, their meaning as talismans, religious protection, their use as money, their origins, and the people who held them before me. If you want to see if I have others not yet listed, send a message through eBay and I'll list them and let you know when I list them. I'm not permitted to do "side deals."
