hello Red Funny, I am thinking the other way around. Making a gather, pulling it, cutting it into pieces and then grinding them into individual beads seems a lot of work, but the resulting number of finished beads from a cane in the long run is faster and therefore more economical than making the same number of wound beads one by one if they are intended in mass production. The chevrons shown in this case are fairly common and are on various sample cards from 1920 to 1940. The "fake" ones, I believe them to be made in the 1800s (and could be earlier, who knows for sure?). JP
