Since these beads purportedly come from thirty years ago, the current beads that Paddy and Annie have would not be pertinent.

Plus I know what beads they had thirty years ago—having been in their store in 1987, and since then.

Nevertheless (as I remarked to the owner), the beads in-question, in terms of the work and floral patterns, have some congruency to Chinese beads that have circulated for about ten years now.

I am still seeking recognition (!). Thank you, just the same. Jamey
