may actually be one of the beads produced, as Jamey has deduced, during the 1930s. Notice the unusual color of the base glass, the blue cane in the center of the millefiori (versus green), the centering of the millefiori rather than their random scattering around the bead, and the more dense trailwork forming a "frame" along the margins rather than haphazardly applied wisps. The other round yellow glass beads are actually quite nice, but an age of over 20 years may be doubtful? Although the very newest beads seem to lack the nice bubble-free glass of earlier versions.
