The 1st string looks like old chevron and the red one could be a Hudson Bay bead. The 2nd string are white hearts. The bone beads in J M O look to be African or Polynesian. The cuts look to deep for NA. They are nice, I really like the old chevrons.

Thanks I was thinking African also but unable to find any similar . their all different sizes an the cuts are different depths might be a stain to make them look older ?
