No. 42424.
    Protest 961065-G of Rice, Bayersdorfer Co. (Philadelphia).
   Opinion by

McClelland, P. J.

It was conceded by both sides that the merchandise consists of artificial flowers composed in chief value of glass. The sample consisted of a group of three wires, each approximately a foot long, joined together at one end, and for a space of about 2 inches from the joining, wrapped in tinfoil. From that point almost to the end of each of the wires they are covered by a long glass tube which, at regular intervals, has been blown or bulged in such a manner that it appears to be a series of individual beads. There is, however, no separation between each of the bulges, the- entire glass part of the article being in one piece. These bulges were held not to be beads. The claim at 60 percent under paragraph 1518 was therefore sustained.
