Original Message:   Re: New eBay Categorization for Collectible Beads

As far as beads are concerned this categotisation is not realistic. The representation as "ancient" should include all beads produced until the end of the Islamic period (14/15th century). The representation as "antique" should start with the Venice production (15th century)and should include the first decades of the 20th century. Moreover it is impossible to split Islamic beads between those produced before 1000 AD and those produced after 1000 AD due to difficulty to date with precision and because it is the same family of beads.
