    Hi Kikster,

    The Talhakimt are old, vintage pieces. They are no longer made. From my research they date prior to the 1930s. They were made in Czechoslovakia (or possibly other countries, but I find Czechoslovakia most often in my research) and exported to West Africa.

    If you can find them in the Czech Republic it would probably be in a bead or vintage/antique store.

    Some colors such as black, white, and yellow are more rare than the typical red, pale blue, and green which I come across most often.

    I have some for sale on my web site and I do ship to the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

        I know! It's crazy how things travel back and forth around the world, isn't it?

        Internationally, I ship via USPS International First-Class mail. For 3 of those, it should be no more than $10 USD. My shopping cart will calculate postage based on total weight of your purchase and the shipping destination.

        Thanks, Kiki! And, if you need any help or have any problems ordering over the web site, please don't hesitate to let me know. Most international orders have gone through without a hitch, but occasionally there may be an issue. Usually it's because I haven't checked a particular country as a shipping destination yet. But, the Czech Republic and Slovakia are already checked.
