The story behind these beads:
I am selling them for an 80+ year old widow in my church.  Her grandfather, who was a navy doctor, brought them back from deployment to Alaska in the 1800s where he purchased them from Russian traders.  They were given to her in a single strand as a child and she's had them since.  They have not been added to or subtracted from since brought home last century.
