Before starting to write a new post, I wanted to post a couple of additional photos of the early-American gillnet float. The photos help to show the pre-1890 amber/green color of the float's glass.

About Me
- Sea Hermit
- In the year 2000, sitting in front of our new computer keyboard and screen, it took me about an hour before I found the Ebay glass fishing float auction site. My life has been filled with constant float excitement ever since. While I do have a representative collection of beautiful Japanese and other Asian floats, it is the European and American floats that I love collecting the most. Walt Pich, Woody Woodward, Amos Wood, among others, have done much to reveal the character and history of the Asian floats. Now, there are a number of people involved in revealing European floats and their history. This blog is an attempt to bring together the talents, thoughts, knowledge and collections of glass float lovers. It is my fondest hope, that we can all have some fun here, and share our passion and knowledge for glass fishing floats. I heartily welcome photos and communication, which I will post to the blog. Just email me at: trizzo8037@comcast.net with anything that you would like to share about your collections, personal history or knowledge of floats.
