Yellow and Blue Swirls together makes this a very unique float.
Clear bold stamp of WP #81 '2' maker's mark.
This float measures 3 1/2 inches in diameter.
It has tons of bubbles.

Pretty good example of WP #234 Heaven mark. This is an almost perfect stamp.
It's light green a 4 inch float.
Has excellent provenance having come from the ex-Ramon Fulton collection.
Daiichi Glass stamp 'DG A'. Looks like the 'A' is slightly over the seal. This is maker's mark WP #135.
Gorgeous all blue float.
Great example of net patterning, too.
This float measures 2 3/4 inches in diameter.
Love these 7 inch floats especially when they're marked and have swirls.
Mark WP #10 Kawaguchi or Rivermouth in a triangular configuration is nicely center on the seal.
There are a few amber green swirls in the seal button, too.
Nice 5 inch float with maker's mark WP #7-A Maru Se ㋝.
The stamp is clear and bold.
Lovely olive green color.
The 5 inch size makes this a good display float.

Nice bold stamp of WP #24 'Shi' シ (aka smiley face) but this one is in a circle, so I assume that makes it Maru Shi.
This is a 5 inch float that looks pretty old with tons of bubbles and a cruder construction than you see on newer floats.
Rarely seen Spindle inside of a 9 1/2 inch in diameter float. This is a Chinese bi-mold float.

Truly a rare combination.

Free standing thick spindle that is super twisted.
What is true remarkable about this spindle float is that there's a broken off nubbin that's rattling about inside. Amazingly the thick spindle has remained intact for more than half a century.
