This beautiful cobalt blue float is a 'Blodgett Blue'.

It has a green eye and measures 3 inches in diameter.

Here are some comments by Alan Rammer about Blodgett Blues:

"Stuart Farnsworth knew Effie Blodgett and her husband (his name eludes me at the moment) when they lived in Klipsan Beach in the 70’s. He went to their house a number of times and they had a number of these 3” floats with a green dot in the center of the sealing button. They found them all one winter in either 1952 or 1953 and never saw them again. This is how the term Blodgett Blue came to be. I have met other old timers from the Seaside to Long Beach area who had these floats and they agree they came in for a very brief time in the 50’s. As mentioned before the 4” is a rare one. I have asked Stu for more info and will report back. Stu took me to her house in Klipsan Beach one time and although not home we could see these blue beauties through the window. She shared with Stu how the beach was divided between the McGough’s, the Tinker’s and she and her husband. Fascinating stories of a bygone time. I never met her myself but Marie McGough told me the same stories when she and I visited."

 "Bill and Margaret Gammon of Seaside, Oregon had mine blowing stories of their finds when on some nights he had to leave her on the beach to protect their treasures while he drove the first haul home. I still have her notebook she shared with me before her passing.  I still have her notebook she shared with me before her passing. One of my all time favorites was their finding two jumbo rollers on the same night. On another night she found all 5 of their Blodgett Blues. They never saw them again."
