Hi everybody. I wanted to introduce myself so now is as good time as any. My name is Dan and I am new here. I used to own and operate a retail store on the Oregon coast (Seaside) called Riverhouse Antiques where my wife and myself dealt in all kinds of old beads for a good 10 years back in the 1980's. Some here might have been in my shop and remember it. I acquired a nice collection of rare beads for myself during that time.

Anyway, my love of old rare beads has been reignited recently and I'm currently putting together a nice necklace of Pumtek and PYU Ghost beads for myself and I have a question as to whether a few beads I am considering using on my necklace are authentic old Pumteks, or newer ones. If anyone knows please let me know what you think. See attached pictures. Thanks!
