Original Message: Not a bell pull but…

Hi Uwe I hope you find this one interesting!
Although the image is not brilliant (it was taken from a TV screen shot) it has some good examples of green and amber sprengperlen used in the fringe of a Great Lakes region bandoleer bag (probably Chippewa) dating to the third quarter of the 19th century.
This item was brought into the Antiques Roadshow on BBC TV in the UK in February 2011 and was slightly misidentified and undervalued by the "expert", but we ran an article on it in the Bead Society of GB journal this time last year and our Native American specialist put everything into perspective for us!
You'd enjoy the journals - we have lots of colour articles about all kinds of beads
Cheers Carole
