French Diplomat Beads?

Can someone please tell me if these are old trade beads? Or are they just FIMO? I thought they could look like French diplomat beads but am just learning.
Thanks and happy hunting

Help Identifying Stamp On Cones

Can anyone make out the stamp on the cones? There are three of those symbols above the sterling on each cone. They almost look like rainclouds, the stones resemble Royston.
Any help is much appreciated, I am trying to figure out what it’s worth

VTG 1969 Hippie Protest Helmet

Can anyone tell me if the artwork depicted on this helmet symbolizes or means anything specific? There appears to be a star with a flower sprouting from it, as well as one falling petal. LOVE is right above (:
The story on the helmet is that it was at Woodstock but I’m not sure if there is a way to prove that.
Any and all comments are appreciated!

NA Made? Unusual Beadwork?

Do any of you think this could possibly be native made? Also, what is going on with the beadlike strand running along the twisted wire? Would those have been soldered individually or would they have come together like that?
Please and thank you all
