They all look like Indonesian made ancient beads, jatim, pelangi and the bird beads. I am no expert on these, but have seen a lot of them at the shop of the bead brothers in Alkmaar, the Netherlands. They are specialists on these types of beads.
From the quantity and quality, my first impression would be that if they are authentic, they would be incredibly valuable. It makes me wonder if they are more likely to be fairly recent copies (last 10 to 15 years or so)which have become increasingly difficult to tell apart from the genuine ones. The really old ones are becoming more and more rare.
Perhaps you could email the beadbrothers to see what they think? (info@beadbrothers.nl)
Especially the striped zebra (pelangi) one makes me suspicious, because of its size. It seems rather big to me.
Either way, they are gorgeous beads.
