I have 3 strands of the wonderful old diamond double-drilled beads, & I believe that there is 1 or 2 on each strand that did not have the central hole drilled. I've yet to see reproductions of these, since I'm always looking for them. I just love them. I no longer fool myself that I know for certain, but just based on that fact alone, I would believe these are the original (as you said early-mid 1900s) phenolic resin faux amber beads. I've never seen these come out of any other tribe or region than Africa... I would definitely enjoy them & make use of them. They are becoming so difficult to find & quite expensive when you do find them! I just loved these 2.... Lucky you! Lynne
