Most are all the much older marvered handmade ones with the big hole on one side with smaller hole on the other side that were made in the 1700's. The ones with the line at the equator were made in a prosser mold in the late 1800's or early 1900's. The prosser mold was invented in 1865.

hard to find the really old ones, especially in good condition. These beads have lived a rich full life so small nicks and chips are to be expected." The strand is temporarily strung.
