<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pat P, post: 14885, member: 201&quot;]MOS, Are the little reddish beads cranberry-colored? I love beads in that color. They look similar to some goldish-yellow glass beads I have. The irregular size means they were hand-made rather than pressed.</p><p><br /></p><p>You may be right about the oval medallions having been used on shoes. If 6rivets sees this thread, maybe she&#039;d know.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your fringe is really nice. Based on the photos, it look to me like it&#039;s in such good condition that it was probably bought new, by the yard. Beaded fringe is still sold today, and these types of beads are still made, so it can be hard to tell the age. In the 70s, I bought fringe in a few different patterns&nbsp; from a bead shop in NYC, and they claimed it was unused Tiffany fringe. But who knows if it really was.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d be cautious about claims made by eBay sellers about trade beads. I&#039;ve seen beads listed that I think probably are old trade beads, but I&#039;ve also seen bead listings that I&#039;m very skeptical about.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
