This is a contemporary Jumbo Roller made in 1990's by a foreman of the Hokuyo Glass Co.

It's an incredibly beautiful pink colored float with pink speckles and pink swirling throughout.

It has a pure black seal button with an 'FF' maker's mark stamped on it.

This float is very heavy for its size.

Below is a narrative provided by Jerry Wightman that commissioned the production of these beautiful contemporary Jumbo Roller floats:

"I had the two piece mold made to specifications of the first jumbo I found in Hokkaido.  It was made in Michigan by a tool and die maker.  I shipped it to Japan where a tool and die maker put vent holes in the molds, attached a hinge, and put handles to it."

"They were blown by the foreman, who was the only one left from the old days when Hokuyo Glass made round floats.  Only at the end did he bring in an air compressor to complete a full head on the sealing end."

"They took so long to make that by the time they sealed the buttons the temperatures changed somewhat causing many weird things to happen like spindles, double bubbles, and other odd stuff."

"When the first one ran into a full length spindle they sighed and apologized.  Obviously, my excitement told them to carry on, and they were happy that the crazy foreigner would accept their mistakes that would never pass their production control."

"I was on the spot for the whole production and video taped it.  It was like being a coin collector, getting into the government mint, and being part of the coinage.  What a day!"
