Glass Fishing Floats
Rare and unusual Glass Fishing Floats and Nets
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
Rib-Hitch Net of Tarred Hemp
Running Loop Net of Tarred Hemp
Half-Hitch Net of Tarred Hemp
Japanese or Asian Long-Line Net of Tarred Hemp
Dog Neck Floats from the Baltic Sea
These small Norwegian Egg Shaped Floats are considered to be very old, supposedly dating to the mid 19 th century
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
