Very unusual Tohoku roller that's an odd flint color.
Then to make matters even stranger, it has fine Cranberry Swirls that emanate from the seal end and go throughout the float.
It's an authentic working float with a few small flea bite chips on the seal.
This float is the standard 6 inches in length that you find Tohoku rollers.
I uncovered this float in Japan. The seller had put a custom of macramé sort of net on it. It was hard to tell the true color until I purchased the float and then ripped the make shift net off. Boy, was I surprised!
I showed this float to Walt Pich and he told me he had never seen another roller same color.
