The history of glass production and processing in Železný Brod dates back to mid 19th century, when domestic production and processing of small glass products began to grow from neighboring Jablonec. In 1948, with the nationalization of private companies, Zeleznobrodské sklo was formed. This necklace is made of the "glass products library" of the Glassworks and was a unique example of what the company could produce, showing the styles, beads and findings available. This necklace has been removed from an original card that was never for retail, purely being a library example. As with any necklace that's almost 70 years old, the cotton may have become weak and need re-stringing.
