And the same story was confirmed by several fishermen so I guess we can count on it.<br /><br />Some of my finds was from outer Lofoten area and south down into Brønnøysund area. I know one guy up north lofoten that still is owner from approx 1 - 20 heavy eggs and teardrop floats.....I will consider a new visit when I am finished building our new house at the west coast of Norway.<br />And maybe all these rare floats will change owner ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20199772.post-90755701819279062542012-01-07T09:48:54.459-08:002012-01-07T09:48:54.459-08:00Bumble Vee,

Century, millions of floats were produced not only for the Trawl net fishery, but also for the continued use of gill nets, trawl and/or longlines. The Japanese alone produced millions of floats, together with the incredible production by the Norwegian, French, Portugese, German and British glassworks, then onto America's Northwest Glass Company, Owens/Illinois of Alameda, and Corning. The number made was tremendous. I often think about all of the boat houses, warehouses, etc., that were bombed and destroyed during WWII. Can you imagine how many floats were destroyed during those years! Last year's tsunami has released a huge number of floats that will begin to wash ashore on the West Coast of North America in the next two or so years.

K...The egg on the right in the picture of the three<br />Kveitkulas photo is my favorite float.<br />You can only see the sun through it at certain spots in the float and is about the same weight as the Relsky float I owned once.<br />I have another green unmarked float purchased from Per that also is seamed and as heavy as<br />the two. I wonder if they were also used for Halibut. All three floats are very thick glass<br />and heavier than any float I have seen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
