Note: These are enlarged pictures to give clarity

Key:
 Tr = Made with translucent glass
Rc = Red core
Apart from the few small faults detailed below - the beads above are in excellent condition
cyl = Cylinder
*   = A very unusual design but the colour in the centre of the eye at the topmost point is missing
       A tiny drop of paint, carefully colour-matched and applied, would make this bead perfect
** = Beautiful and undamaged frontal design with some missing colours on the reverse side
*   = A rarely seen double-sided design - unfortunately with evidence of some repainting
** = Colour worn away on the point of the bottom right-hand corner
* = A tiny chip on the edge of the top hole caused by the stringing / wearing of previous years
** = Some of the colour on the very bottom edge is worn
#   =  Chipped on underside - the rest of the upper pattern is very good
## =  Tiny repair at the uppermost top at the rear .. the rest of the bead is excellent
