The TY is stamped on a separate ID seal.
This float measures 26 inches in circumference or about 8 1/4 inches in diameter.
This is a 'contemporary' float and was made in the 1950's by Hokuyo Glass Co. in Japan. It's still 60 years old, so it's not new by any means.
There's a pencil thin maker's mark of WP #2 'Kita' 北 or 'Double FF'.
This float measures 15 inches in circumference and 5 inches in diameter. It's made with heavy thick glass. The integrity of the float is very sound.

A truly beautiful glass ball.
This super float has a Blue Seal, Blue Swirls, and it's 6 inches.
First, the blue seal is huge. It measures over 2 1/2 inches across at its widest.
Second, the blue swirls emanate from the seal and go all the way through to the base.
Finally, this float measures 6 inches in diameter. I've never seen another 6 inch Blue Dot float.
It's also in pristine condition with no chips or cracks.
This float was found in northern Japan by Woody Woodward.
Even through you might think this is a one-of-a-kind float. I was told by Walt Pich that at the time this float was found there was another one identical to it.
This 5 inch float has a beautifully intricate mark. The maker's mark is WP #129. It is comprised of three symbols. All of the symbols are rather small. The symbol on the left is detailed and complex. I'm not familiar with it. In the middle, is the classic 'sa' mark. On the right side, there's a tokui symbol.
It's hard to find a clear and complete stamp of this maker's mark.
