Its thick heavy glass contains impurities, inclusions and bubbles that are intrinsic to the Japanese manufacturing process. It is in good and sound condition with the normal wear one finds on fishing floats that have survived years of use in the ocean. This float has thick glass with bubbles, a full net with long line attached and is a beautiful sky blue color (see photos). Every vintage float is different and this one has many beautiful unique features (see photos).
