Original Message: Some more Venetian finds |
---|
Found a rare strand with glass snails (Trade Beads of the Old West, Howard Johnson show), and a strand with very rare & unusual green beads with a design that imitates Bodom designs (Alhaji Kaira, Gem Mall)- or were the Bodoms imitating the Venetians ? Trade Beads of the Old West is the store of one Leo Hakola, who said he's been absent from Tucson for 12 years. His room at HoJo's was chock full of trade bead strands - lots of rare and interesting beads that I have not seen for sale at the African trader's tables. If you are still at Tucson, or not yet arrived - check this one out! All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
