Original Message:   I'm not so sure

Hi Patrick, Unfortunately, these beads do not look like they have been finished a speo; and and the canes are not really similar to the canes used for early "gooseberry" beads. Consequently, they would not be early "gooseberry" beads. I suspect these are later, but "early" hot-tumbled beads, that would date to ca. 1817 or later. I am going to be offline for a couple of days, while my computer is being tuned-up. I'll try to pursue these issues when I return.
