[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 13164481, member: 2844"]These would never have seen West Africa. They were either made in Germany for export to the Eastern Mediterranean, or they were made in Turkey or the Middle East. Turkey and the Middle East made these beads for their own use and for export to surrounding countries. They are worth quite a lot. Germany also exported bakelite beads to Africa, which is why the beads look similar to African trade beads.[/QUOTE]
