Vintage Czech sample card with 49 metallic pearl glass beads. This card demonstrates 10 colors, 3 designs and 10 sizes that were available. Some markings to the pearl coatings and some wear to the card itself.
Origin: Czech 1970's
Size beads: 6 - 15mm; 4/16" - 9/16"
These beads are on a library sample card from the now finished Zeleznobrodske Sklo company of Gablonz. The ZBS company was an amalgamation of hundreds of independant glass makers enforced by the communist regime in the 1950's. The nationalised company controlled all sales of glass products worldwide.
Every bead made had a library copy, of which this is one. The cards will often have hand written notes with colors, designs and sizes available, costs and weights.
