Shots from the display cases; photos of beads in archival collection to be published somewhere later.

Note the hanks of cobalt "Russians." Also the huge versions lower left in the first picture.

They also had a couple of strings of very big cobalt vaseline-style beads that I haven't seen anywhere else.

And a string of smaller "Russians" in an amber color, reminiscent of those Lester Ross found at Fort Vancouver, IIRC.

Plus those brick-red greenhearts (galet rouge?) in pristine unused condition, still glossy.
