About Trade Beads:

Trade Beads were produced in Venice, Bohemia, and other European countries from the late 1400s to the early 1900s for trade with Africa and the Americas. These beads were exchanged for gold, ivory, slaves in Africa, and fur with Native Americans. The peak of Trade Bead production was from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, during which millions of beads were manufactured and exported, predominantly from Venice.
