It's unusual to find a Jumbo Sausage that's blue-green color.
A protruding seal button is also not commonly seen in jumbo sausages.
This float is in absolutely perfect condition, too.
It measures about 8 3/4 inches in length and is about 3 3/4 inches wide at its widest.
This float has excellent provenance having come from the ex-Col. 'Rich' Richardson collection.
Medium Jumbo Sausage that's quite rare.
I believe that there are only around 10 of these medium jumbo sausages in collections.
This float measures about 7 inches long and is about 2 1/2 inches wide at its widest.

Here's a Small Tube Sausage.
These are pretty rare. I've been told that there only 6-8 of these small tube sausages in collections, but only two of them are flint colored.
Col. 'Rich' Richardson had both of the flint colored small sausages in his collection and thankfully was willing to sell one of them to me.
This small tube sausage measures about 7 3/4 inches in length and is a skinny 2 inches in diameter.

It's an old bimold type float with a nicely dappled surface.
It measures 9 1/4 inches in circumference or about 3 inches in diameter.
This float has excellent provenance having come from the collection of well-known collector ex-Col. 'Rich' Richardson.

Stubby Blunt-Nosed Torpedo is in perfect condition.
As per Walt Pich's 'Shapes' book, "The stubby 4-inchers all appear to have come from the same mold, probably a cherry wood mold. They are asymmetrical in that the barrel is wider at one end."
This roller measures 4 5/8 inches in length.

Beautiful cobalt blue swirls emanate from the base of this float and spiral through out the body of the float to the seal.

Unusual light salmon color in a 5 inch float.
This float was found by Olaf Raabe and may be from Lofton islands in Norway. Olaf found these two of floats together. I purchased one directly from Olaf in 2011. 12 years later lady luck was shining on me and I found the second float in a Facebook Deal Or No Deal listing.
