This is a rare 5 inch float with a double seal that has maker's marks stamped on both seals. There's a 'DGB' stamped on the seal button. There's also a 'DGB' stamped on an ID Seal.
This version of the DGB mark seems to be undocumented, as it does not appear in any of the field guides. It differs from WP #136 DGB which has a backwards B. It also differs from WP #139 DGB that has a backward D. This maker's mark shows all the letters 'D', 'G', and 'B' as they appear in the alphabet.
The float has thousands of bubbles and I think this adds to its attractiveness as a display float.
This float comes with excellent provenance; it's from ex-Stu Farnsworth collection.
