It's a weird yellow bead. I find it amusing. I bought it knowing nothing about its history, it simply struck me as a very unusual bead, probably because I do know enough about beads to recognize that.
Learning that it might be nearly a century old and made in Venice is just icing on the cake. There's lots of old stuff out there.

As to collectors valuing what they know about, I like this recent example from eBay of a strand of plain green beads going for $450 all because of a little brass tag.
