Context (CMS Context)
Mounted trade beads such as these were collected by Horace Beck and it may be that these were from his collection that were donated to MAA in 1947. However, none of the numbers written on the card are listed in Beck's catalogue cards, so it may be that the beads came to the museum from another source or that Beck received these beads from another collector and never assigned them his own numbering system. For the time being, therefore, the source is tentatively given as Beck.
