Hi Chris,

About three years ago I bought a masse of mixed Japanese glass beads at eBay. Now sorted into groups by color. They are all spheroidal. I planned to use them as filler beads, between nicer Japanese beads (if the spirit moved me).

So I just pulled them out and viewed the apertures. The perforations are clean with no residue of mandrel-release compound. The channels are the same colors as the exteriors.

These were not advertised as being Cherry Brand--and I would have to look elsewhere to find the few I have that are or were tagged, somewhere. I can also look at my collection of older Japanese ojime-like glass beads. (I know where these are, pretty much.)

JDA.
