My youngest sons lady gave me a gift of beads and artifacts today . No information on where they were found the trade beads are the real deal . But I know nothing about the incised Bone / Ivory beads there all different I haven't been able to look at how they were drilled yet . The buttons are bright on the back side like gold plate and again no info . All four riker mounts have been in her family a long time .

The two Riker's on the left are sand cast beads. Glass type I believe, they are plentiful but have a value in this area of about 50 to 100 per strain. The red, I am guessing have a white center, those are known as white heart beads, their named after some guy, can't recall his name. They would be more valuable depending on size. Probably not a great help, but hope it helps a little, I am just now starting to study and collect trade beads, so no expert, but I think that will get you on the right path anyway.
