Unusual Antique Beads from
Barking
Rock Farm
9241
Eureka Road, Girard, PA 16417
"Micro Beads"
These incredibly tiny seed beads are over 100 years old!
These tiny beads are all antiques, not produced since before WW I. These are tiny enough to nearly drop through the HOLE of most seed beads on the market today! There is a LOT of controversy over the correct era for such little beads, although most everyone seems to agree they definitely were manufactured during 1880-1910. Many authorities assert they were available - although probably uncommon - for many decades prior to that time. Whatever the appropriate time slot, they are wonderful!
Many of these beads originally came to us in hanks of very approx. 2 to 4 grams each...which isn't much by weight, but sure accounts for a LOT of individual beads! (There are approximately 35-40 18/o beads per linear inch.) The fragile string hanks don't always survive handling. Therefore, some colors are available only in broken hanks, which we've corralled in tiny plastic bags. Quantities in bags are 3 or more grams, unless otherwise noted.
PLEASE NOTE: Photos have been enlarged to show detail, and are not necessarily to scale!
Approximate
size of hank or package is indicated next to each color. Quantities
may be limited. Color
variations in hand-made glass from batch to batch will almost never
be the same, and colors will appear different due to different
settings and different brand monitors as well as the training of the
individual eye. Please order enough to complete your project at one
time, as we may not be able to duplicate an exact color.
SIZE 18/O
Unless
otherwise noted. Stated quantities
are approximate.

We recently acquired a nice lot of these beads. These are also antiques, hand-made during the same pre-WW I time frame as the 18/0. They are slightly larger than 18/0, with slightly larger holes. Quantities in packets vary, so please check each item carefully when ordering.
