Glass Fishing Float in Red

Glass Fishing Float in RedThis is a glass fishing float in red glass that weighs 7 to 8lbs & is 12" wide not counting the rope webbing. It was hand blown into a two piece mold & has a glass plug inserted in the bottom of the float. The color of the float is dependent on the color of the glass bottles the were ground up to make the float. Some of the floats have a small dimple in the top.
