Here
is a set of Six vintage
authentic beach combed glass fishing floats that are
approximately 3.25
inches in diameter.
All are frosted and some have trademarks. These are the actual floats in the pictures you are bidding on and each one are a little different color.
These floats are old and have been out in the elements somewhere over 50 years. I've heard comments that I have frosted the floats which is not true. These floats have really taken a
beating in the surf, sandy beach and wind. If you could see where I
beach combed
some of these you'd see it's a wonder that they survived at all in the
rocks and
gravel. These are the real deal that I personally beach combed.
According to Amos Wood's
book these frosted glass
floats occur approximately 1 in 300.
The "frosting" comes from
tumbling around in the
surf and then being sandblasted by winds in excess of 100 mph as they
lay on the
beaches.
I don't know how long it
takes for the floats to
get completely frosted but it's awhile.
Please check out our other glass float auctions.
Happy Bidding !!
