<p>[QUOTE="Karen S., post: 363896, member: 7533"][ATTACH=full]124508[/ATTACH] Good morning! I have3 bead necklaces I bought at an auction in the N. Georgia area about 8 years ago. This is one, then I will list a second on in the next thread. The information that came with both necklaces was that Ta-Li Ga-Wa-Nv (2 Ducks a Cherokee in Oklahoma) restrung these beads from Oklahoma uncovered during road construction. He called them large glass Indian trade beads. Also said they were Antique Venetian glass beads dug up in Oklahoma. This information was on the cardboard backing for the stands of beads. I paid $38 a strand. I'm wondering if I got snookered.(LOL) I contacted the historical Dept. in Oklahoma and also the University (Anthropology Dept) but did not get an answer...just referred to someone else who did not respond. So my question is: are this 19-early 20th Century trade beads that were traded through the mid west? Another college had samples of similar beads that were donated by a family that did trade these Venetian beads during that time....but I could not identify my particular beads. Also note that there are 2 face beads on one of the 2 strand's I'm listing. Thank you ahead of time for your help. I'll copy and paste this to the next thread.....so if you read it, you won't have to again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
