Also, a very large number of trade beads have survived 100 or more years in very good to excellent condition so condition alone is not a good indicator. That, and some repros are being artificially aged.
Thanks Roseanne. Here are some better closeups. I acquired these from a bead collector who purchased them in Tucson about 30+ years ago. I appreciate your comments.
Thanks for posting the clearer pictures! I would say those look good to me. Nice beads!
Thanks so much.
Thanks so much.
WGN van der Sleen referred to this pattern as an "Arabesque."
Since "Lewis & Clark" is nonsense, and a previous descriptive name was devised..., why not use it?
