Lime Green Roller with lot of bubbles.

This roller measures 4 3/4 inches long.

This roller is one of three light amber rollers I bought as a lot from Japan in June of 2023.

This light Amber Roller is a real heartbreaker.  It has a long crack on the side of the barrel.

It measures 4 3/4 inches long.

This roller is one of three light amber rollers I bought as a lot.  Cautionary tale of buying float from Japan.  This seller didn't include a photo showing the huge crack.

Classic Double Sausage float that has a groove around the middle of the barrel of the float.

This float measures about 5 1/4 inches long.

It's one of two double sausages that I purchased in Japan in June of 2023.

Double Sausage float that measures about 5 1/8 inches long.

It's one of two double sausages that I purchased in Japan in June of 2023.

Green Seal on a smokey gray colored float.

This float measures 37 1/2 inches in circumference or about 12 inches in diameter.

It's quite hard to find a Cranberry Dot with mark WP #171 'Asahi' 旭.  In all the years I've been looking, I've found two of them.  This one has the best stamp of the two that I've got in my collection.

It's a nicely netted float that measures about 2 1/2 inches in diameter.

This float was purportedly found by Woody Woodward while float hunting in Japan with Walt Pich.  I purchased this float in 2023 from a private collector who had bought it many years ago on eBay from "2fishin2" (aka Woody).

Very hard to find large float that has both an Amber Green Seal and an Amber Green ID Seal.

There are also some lovely amber swirls running throughout the float.

The mark on the ID seal is WP #3 'Kita' 北.  It's lightly stamped.

This float has excellent provenance having come out of the first container of large floats that Michelle & Shane Konkle imported from Japan.  I bought this float from Michelle in 2023.

Mark #39 is 'Mata Masa'.  The symbol on top of the stamp is 'Mata' 又.  The symbol on the bottom is 'Masa' 正.

According to Walt Pich there were two examples of this mark known to the collection community at the time his 'Marks' book was published in 2009.  One found in Alaska and another in Japan.

This could be the third known example of mark WP #39 Mata Masa. These are the only three that I'm aware of but there may be more of them out there.

I purchased this float in Japan in May of 2023.

Mark WP #196 'Kami' 神 is not a rare mark, it's classified as uncommon.  But finding a WP #196 Kami 神 mark on a 2 inch float is rare.  In fact, this 2 inch float is the only float in collections that has a WP #196 Kami 神 mark.

The float measures about 7 inches in circumference or about 2 1/2 inches in diameter.

This is a very rare Doughnut Jumbo Roller.  Jumbo rollers made from this mold style are very hard to find.

There are some amber swirls in the non-seal end that gives this jumbo roller a bit of a two-tone look.

It measures about 20 inches in length and about 8 inches across the middle of the barrel.

I purchased this jumbo roller in Japan in April of 2023.

This is a very unusual float.  First, the color is really striking.  It's a dark purple or deep violet color.  If you backlight this float, you can see lots of purple swirls throughout the float.

The seal on it is extra large, especially for this size float.

Even the size is an unusual measuring 26 1/4 inches in circumference or about 8 1/2 inches in diameter.

When I was offered this float I didn't know what to think.  I thought there was a good chance it was a reproduction but I bought it anyway since it came out of a collection with many amazing floats.  A couple days later the same seller showed me two identical floats but they were both netted.  There was a fitting on each of the nets with Japanese writing on it.  That convinced me that my float was an authentic Japanese glass float, too.

This float came out of an impressive collection from Augusta, Georgia sold in the spring 2023.

Mark WP #285 'Matsu 松 Under a Roof' was much harder to find than I thought it would be for a mark that's classified as uncommon but I finally got one from another collector.

This float itself has lots of character with tons of bubbles and swirling texture on the surface of the glass.

It measures about 4 3/4 inches in diameter.
