These are two of the most unusual Floats that I have put Nets on.  They actually have a special Glass attachment for securing to a Net.  Heavy Glass with lots of small bubbles and Glass spindles inside the Floats.  Beautiful colors also. They now hang out  in Gloucester, Massachusetts at Susan's house

These unusual floats have Glass spindles inside which resulted from the big glob of hot glass applied to the top for the unique Net attachment

Glass Float with Symbol of Three Overlapping Fish
The Symbol of the Three Overlapping Fish is an example of the Triquetra (Vesica Piscis).  This Mark refers to the Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes and the Christian admonition to be Fishers of Men.  This Symbol can also be found on the Pulpit cloth at Bavnehoj Kirke in Copenhagen, Denmark.  This particular Float and symbol is highly sought after by collectors of Glass Fishing Floats
