Bead Trade

Hello all,

I have a bunch of beads I purchased at auction several years ago. I worked for the auction house so I got them before they actually went to the final auctioning. Anyhow, the lady who owned them before traveled the world and was in her 90's when she passed. She had boxes and boxes of beads that I purchased.

In those boxes were a bunch of African trade beads. There are several sizes. I don't really like them, but don't want to eBay them either. I wanted to know if anyone would be interested in some trade.

I need findings. I would consider Bali silver, lampwork beads, Delicas, etc. I can scan the selections for you and give you an exact count on the beads. I can vouch that they are authentic and very old. One woman offered me a bunch of money at the time of auction, but I couldn't give them up at the time. She is a museum curator and wanted them for an exhibit. Now I know I won't use them and am willing to part with them.

I also have some antique Japanese porcelain beads for trade. They are in hues of blue and violet.

I imagine several of us would be interested in the trade beads. Can you link to a photo, please.

I have more than a hundred of the porcelain beads. I would have to count the trade beads, but I'm sure in total there are well over a hundred. They range from small to large. Lots of in-between sizes.

The beads can be viewed at

I see the file. What do you see when you click the link? There should be three files. They should be "Beads", Fused Work", and "Trade Beads". Once you click on Trade Beads you will be able to see two photos. Click on the photos to enlarge them. Let me know if you continue to have problems.
