Nice 7 inch Pie Seal float.
Love these 7 inch floats because this size displays so well.
The Pie Crust Seal is indicative of a float produced in Taiwan.
Pleasant forest green color with some faint amber swirls.
All Cranberry colored float that measures 2 1/2 inches in diameter.
The base of this float seems to be a darker color than the rest of the float.
Found in Japan.
This small standard Hokkaido roller is covered with barnacles.
It measures 4 3/4 inches in length.
Found on Hokkaido Island, Japan.
Octopus ball with a Cranberry Seal.
Stamped with WP #275-A 'Maru Naka' ㊥ which means 'middle'.
This float measures 2 1/2 inches in diameter.

Very strange 4 inch glass ball with a pinched end seal.
It's a lovely light blue color but has some sort of condensation on the inside surface that is NOT water and is a permanently part of the glass.
This float is clearly out-of-round.
Truly a strange float with little known about it's origin.
Free standing Spindle from the seal to the base of the float.
This float measures 3 inches in diameter.
Attractive light green color with lots of bubbles.
Beachcombed in Japan.
This 2 1/2 inch float is stamped with WP #300 'Ue' 上, which means above or on top of.
Beachcombed in the Aomori Prefecture, Japan.
WP #63-A is the Japanese symbol 'Da 田 under a Roof'. The 'Da' 田 symbol looks like a window pane with four panels.
This maker's mark has only been documented on 3 1/2 floats. It has been classified as a rare mark.
Since this float measures almost 5 inches in diameter it could be the only known example of this size to exist in a float collection.
Beachcombed in the Aomori Prefecture, Japan.
Bullet Rollers are extremely rare.
This bullet roller is a smokey-green color. It's also completely frosted.
It's in fantastic beachcombed condition.
It measures 6 inches in length.
This float has excellent provenance having come from the ex-Jim Watson collection.
Beautiful Cobalt Blue Swirls throughout the base of this 3 1/2 inch float.
There are also Yellow/Gold Swirls around the seal button. Two different colored swirls in one float!
The seal is stamped with a bold and complete WP #80 '1' mark.
Found on Hokkaido Island, Japan.
This Pumpkin float has a whopping 5 glass patches.
The base of the float is very sunken in. It's sunken in around the seal, too. This float is pretty deformed even for a pumpkin float.
It has tons of bubbles in the glass as you typically see in pumpkin floats.
There are also a few amber swirls.
It measures 37 1/2 inches in circumference or about 12 inches wide. It's only 9 1/2 inches tall, at its tallest point.
Beachcombed in Northern Japan.
Nice cobalt blue seal on a 3 3/4 inch float.
Finding a Blue Dot float in this size is uncommon. The most frequent occurrence of Blue Seals is on 2 1/2 inch size floats; followed by the 4 1/4 inch size. The 3 3/4 inch size of this Blue Dot makes it unique and quite rare.
This float is also completely frosted from being exposed to the weather for many years.
This float has excellent provenance having been beachcombed on Kunashir Island in the Kurile Islands, Russia.
