Blue float with lots of amber green swirls.
This 3 inch float is about 90% frosted and has net patterns etched into the glass.
This float has excellent provenance. It was beachcombed in the Aleutian Islands by Paul Umlauf.
Standard Sausage with a Sa サ mark stamped on the seal. It's hard to see from the photo but there are three 'Sa marks in a Triangle' which is WP #130.
This float measures 4 1/8 inches in length.
This float has excellent provenance having come from the ex-Jim Watson collection.
Standard Sausage with a very nice net.
There appears to be remnants of tar in the net and stuck on the float.
Found on Hokkaido Island, Japan.
Double Spindle float that has two parallel free standing spindles.
These two spindles are a bit unusual in that they do not emanate from the seal.
This float also has an almost complete stamp of WP #24 'Shi' シ mark.
Float measures 3 inches in diameter.
Found in Hawaii.
Blue Seal on a light green float.
This float measures 11 1/2 inches in circumference. That's a little over 3 1/2 inches in diameter. This is an uncommon sized float to find with a blue seal.
Found on Hokkaido Island, Japan.
Excellent stamp of WP #310 'Yama Sen' 仙 under a roof mark. It's clear and complete showing all points of the mark.
This mark is classified as uncommon but has only been documented in floats that are 4 inches in diameter or larger. This float is only 2 1/2 inches, so WP #310 on a small float may be quite rare.
Found in Japan.
Beer Bottle Brown roller that measures 5 inches in length.
These rollers are pretty rare.
Found in Japan.
Nice example of a Double Sausage float.
This double sausage is a bit on the larger size measuring 5 1/4 inches in length.
Found in Northern Japan.
This roller has a clear and complete stamp of mark WP #7-A 'Maru Se' ㋝, commonly referred to as the Otaru T. It was produced by the Otaru Glass Company.
The float is a standard 6 inch Hokkaido roller and is nicely netted.
There are also lots of bubbles in the glass.
Found in Northern Japan.
Light lavender tint to this 3 1/2 inch Japanese float.
This appears to be a sun-turned colored float.
This float has good provenance having been purchased from Ken Busse.
This Tri-mold float is stamped with WP #70 'Broken Cross' which is classified as uncommon.
It also has two single hash marks on the base of the float. Pretty unusual to find any 'extra' marks on the base of tri-mold floats.
Very nice example of a small Blue Dot float.
First, it has a dark cobalt blue seal button.
Second, there's a clear and complete stamp of WP #171 'Asahi' 旭 which means 'morning sun' or 'rays of the rising sun'.
Finally, the surface is speckled with remnants of coral.
This is probably my favorite small blue dot float!
