Rare Sausage found with mark WP #7-A 'Maru Se'.  Mark WP #7-A is a common mark but it's rarely seen stamped on a sausage.

This is a standard-sized sausage measuring about 4 inches in length.

Purchased in Japan in early 2023.

Extremely rare True Mini Jumbo with a maker's mark.

To my knowledge, this is one of only a few True Mini Jumbos in collections that has a mark.  In this case, it's the only one with the mark is WP #130; Sa サ in a triangular configuration. 

(The other True Mini Jumbo I saw with a mark had a simple roof mark. It was light blue in color)

This blue-green roller is a working float with a few small chips around the seal like you'd expect to see.

I purchased this float in Japan in early 2023.

I spoke the Dawn Marie about this mark she told me it was a hard one to find but not sonsidered a rare mark.

I purchased this float from Evan Buffington in 2022.

Beautiful Sun-Turned float with a Green Seal.

This float measures 22 1/2 inches in circumference or about 7 inches in diameter.

I've been told by Woody Woodard that at one time there may have been a producer of floats in Japan that put green seals on floats that eventually became sun-turned.  The incidence of sun-turned floats with green seals just seems to high to me to be some kind of random event.
