Just clearing my throat after that coaxing by Carl....Yes these are all authentic older versions, icluding the green striped bead that is not strung, whose brother bead sits at 3 O'clock to the right, the green striped is more of a tear drop shape with a design that wraps all the way around the bead unlike the usual triangle shapes whos designs are typically limited to the front (of course there are some with design on back) but not a continuous design circling this type of tear drop shape, very nice collection!
