I’m posting this now but will repost it again when it gets closer. Try to make plans I’m hoping to see everyone there. You will know who I am when you walk to my table and see these trade beads for as far as I know I will be the only one selling them. They are antique. Hope to see and meet everyone.

Those are called Russian Blues you can see the age by the pits and a couple are cracked. I also have a strand of Kings Beads, black and white rattlesnake with one strand has some Zen beads mixed. In with them. A strand of older Feather Beads probably the latest in age. Bumble Bee strand has some Black and Yellow rattlesnake beads mixed in. One small strand of Chevron type (not true Chevrons). 5 strands of the Black and White Rattlesnake beads and one Yellow and Black Rattlesnake strand not in the photo. I do have some modern reproductions not pictured for the everyday crowd. I will have a full table of different things. All artifact related.

we associate Russian Blues with the darker blue (same faceted shape) here. I find those from time to time too. But the real prize are these...these exact beads have been found when they excavated Lewis and Clark's fort Clatsop. They have this distinct hole running through that is big on one end and tiny on the other. I am mainly searching around traditional Chinook tribal areas.

I had the opportunity to buy some that were faceted but went with the ones I have. If I had known the price was going up on all of them I would of bought more. I had a guy request the RB 3 years ago but we all know what happened in 2020-2021 so maybe I will see him at the next show. Those are some nice beads you have.
