I saw these on eBay. Seller says they're German. Any information, including a rough date, would be appreciated. Thanks!

These beads are most likely made in Jablonec, Czech Republic. They could also be made in Neugablonz, Germany. However, Jablonec is more likely considering the colors.
You have two different shapes, both from molded glass. It is hard to date these, as most shapes and colors were made for quite a long period. However, I would think yours are probably made in the 1950's or later. They could also be 1930's.

Thanks, Floor. The seller is asking for more than I can afford, so I highly doubt they'll be mine. I do like them and appreciate the information for future reference.

Did you find any good beads on the San Francisco Bay Area leg of your trip, when was it..., last February?

Probably 1930's. This type was used in shorter, choker length 1930's necklaces of which I do have an example.
