Glass Fishing Float in Yellow 14"

Glass Fishing Float in Yellow 14"This is a vintage glass fishing float that weighs 7 to 9 lbs. & is between 13 and 14 inches wide including the netting. It was hand blown into a two piece mold & has a glass plug sealed in the bottom of the float. Most of these were used in commercial long line fishing in coastal Asia from the late 1950"s on. They are even strung with commercial long line. Some floats have a dimple, some have a slightly rough texture and some have bubbles inside the

coat hangers and nautical decorating

The cage unscrews for easy access to change the bulb

This is caused by varying temperatures in the drying process after coming out of the mold

It is made of copper and brass construction with two glass fresnel lenses

This is caused by negative pressure inside the float when tongs are used to move the float after the mold is removed

This is a rugged float that is unique and will go with any nautical décor
