Here is a set of seven vintage oriental glass fishing floats approximately 3.25 inches in diameter
that has a lot of variety and differences for floats this size. There are examples of molded and
free blown floats. The set will have different colors including a blue float. There will also be a
frosted float, a float with the net markings wind etched into the glass and a float with it's original net.
These floats all had similar nets on them as this was how they were attached to the high seas
commercial fishing nets. I think you get the picture. :) This is a nice set with a variety of colors and
textures. The price is $64.00 + Shipping costs.

Below is a group nine different colored oriental glass floats that are approximately 3.25 inches
in diameter. These floats are over 40 years old. I personally had the thrill of beachcombing
all these glass floats in Alaska. You can see the floats in these sets range in color from very
light blue, blue, teal blue, olive, olive green to emerald green.
Each set will include a semi-rare amber float. I find less of these than any other colored float.
Rumor has it that the amber and brown floats were made out of recycled beer bottles.

- These floats have a lot of variety to them in style, textures and color.
- All of these floats had nets around them after they were made. That's how they
were originally attached to the fishing nets that actually caught the fish.
