Vintage 40s NW Northwestern Glass Co. 6" Dia. 19" Cir. Amber Brown Fishing Float

Description

While collected here on Maui, Hawaii, this float was manufactured by the Northwestern Glass Company in Seattle Washington. In the fourth photo in the center of the flat surface there is a faint oval which is the abraded NW mark.  This float was made in the United States during the 1940s as due to WWII Japanese floats were not available. From the flat surface to the top of the pontil the float is just over 6" and the circumference is just over 19". Overall the condition is very good with no chips or cracks.  That said, this float has been in the ocean a long time and has aged beautifully showing character with scuffs and abrasions.  The color is a nice warm dark amber.
