I think these two beads are rather curious. I don't recall that I ever saw them in the marketplace, and I can imagine they might be early (for this industry), from prior to the time that new beads were exported abroad to the US—that were mostly copies of jatim beads. (Remember, jatim didn't hit the US until 1983—and it was a few more years before I ever saw any clumsy copies of them.)

Some of the beads on these cards copy Venetian beads, but some also copy new beads from India—that I know were made AFTER 1980.
