Ted Collinson's Collection

Ted Collinson has been collecting glass floats since he was a little kid living in British Columbia. His grandfather was a commercial fisherman and each fall, he would return from fishing his fishing trips with a box of floats.

Recently, Ted took a trip to Japan to enjoy the excelling glass float beachcombing Northern Japan has to offer. He came away with 900 glass floats! hese is a picture of his haul:

Ted's favorite floats are the rollers. Here are three types of rolling pin floats. The large one is very uncommon.

Notice the brown float, an unusual color.
