This is a wonderful collection of early 1900’s Bohemian and Czechoslovakian glass nailhead beads found in an old textile trim factory that closed many years ago. They are also known as glass sequins as these were used in the flapper era before sequins were produced. They are flat on one side so that they will lay close to fabric. They were made in different shapes, sizes with faceting and different finishes. The colors were brilliant and full of life. Enjoy this wonderful collection. We think they will make a great addition to your design ideas.
