That's really interesting.
these are wonderful beads.... my mother has been collecting them for years.......she is a total bead collecting freak!!!!! dad just laughs and smiles ......he collects his various things too, but these beads are really cool.......
I saw some at the B&B show this past year and from another collector locally too. Very old ones, too. It was weird, one of them (the oldest one, several centuries old) kind of 'hummed' in my hand.
