There's a single large 3 3/4 inch barnacle on this small 3 1/4 inch float.

It was found on a beach in Alaska partially buried and exposed to the elements for years.

This float has excellent provenance. It was beachcombed in the Aleutian Islands by Paul Umlauf.

This Tako Jig is a bit unusual because it has a 4 inch glass ball rather than the more common 2 inch or 3 inch glass balls.

Tako means octopus in Japanese.

Partial WP #10 Rivermouth marks.

This Shark Roller has 'ball shaped ears'.

I've found many shark rollers with the thimble shaped ears but it took me a long time to finally find one with the ball shaped ears.

It measures 7 inches in length.

This smaller Hokkaido roller has a very unique feature; it's internally frosted.

Internal frosting happens when there is sand, shards of glass, or other debris trapped inside the float that's tossed around enough to where the inside surface of the glass becomes frosted.

This is one of a handful of interally frosted rollers that I've seen or even heard of. From my experience, it's much more common to see glass balls with internal frosting than rollers.

This Hokkaido roller has a side-spindle that's 1/4 inch thick.  

This Blunt-Nosed Torpedo is in the standard size which is about 6 1/4 inches in length.

It's made of high quality glass and is a beautiful blue-green color.

This glass ball is the smallest one I've got.  I call it the 'Tiniest of the Tinys'.

It only measures 4 3/4 inches in circumference or about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.

This smaller 3 1/4 inch Double Ball float has an Inner Ball that measures about 7/8 of an inch in diameter.

There's a small opening in the seal.

These clear rollers appear to be more recent productions but are probably authentic used fishing floats.  I've been told they could have Chinese origin.

This type of float have four distinguishing features:  1) color is clear, 2) distinct fine mold line, 3) higher quality glass (without many bubbles), and Hokkaido roller like shape.

There's a nice brown swirl in the seal of this particular roller.

It measures about 5 7/8 inches in length.

WP #292 'Hon 本 Under a Roof' is a hard mark to find.

The mark is slightly sucked into the seal but all points of the mark can be seen if you look very closely.

This float measures 4 1/4 inches in diameter.

It's unusual to see two 1 3/4 inch floats netted together like this.  I have no idea way this was done.

Both of these tiny floats have partial WP #10 Rivermouth marks.

Floats with star marks are very common.  This WP #108 mark is a 'Small Star' that's not so common.

The float itself is a very pleasing amber brown color.

There are fine brown swirls, as well as swirling on the surface of the glass.

This float is about 3 inches in diameter.
