I went rummaging through the Sick Collection CD to try to find these. There were several similar beads starting at about #14026 (same design, different colors), and orange began to appear in the 16000s (card #162, Bead #16836 in an olive shape) - cards in these numbers are dated to the late 1920s - 1930s.

Guessing it's Moretti glass and molded murrine - curiously, the lampworker had added an orange dot atop some of the murrine. The stripes appear to be a dark brown edged with white.

Has anyone else encountered this particular combination of chartreuse yellow green and bright orange?

"Retina Fryers" or "Strikingly Attractive" - what's your vote? They kind of resemble succotash, don't they?
