Sure they are "Collectable Beads". Then again, new plastic beads are "Collectable Beads" as well. I would not want to have my old millefiori hand made glass beads listed amoung plastic,lucite flower beads,"blue lucite apple charm beads",Swarovski beads & many of the others that would be listed under "Modern (1900-1945)" unless my millefiori were newly made beads from India. (Which I do not carry) Thats all.I'am 100% for teaching people the correct information about beads. But people have to educate their selves to a point. I'am on ebay to sell quality old beads period. And not to be an information bead book.Though I do enjoy teaching those who wish to learn & I often do.I have two forum links, a bead DataBase & a few excellent bead book ref. listed in "My Ebay". Which I think is sufficient. I give the following information w/ every listing I list, bead size in mm., approx. age, condition, which country I think made the bead or beads & a coin for size comparsion. With all of this said & done, (on my ebay site) I really think this is sufficient.
