Title: Glass toilet cistern float
Post by: glassobsessed on March 02, 2010, 10:35:02 PM

This http://www.fieldingsauctioneers.co.uk/resultsLotDetails.asp?lotsID=50580&menuItemOn=2&salesID=86&hasImage=1
is not a fishing float, see http://www.theglassmuseum.com/fishingfloats.htm

So what sort of float is it? ;D

It was not intended to contain anything but air. It is a float, just not a fishing float.....

Yes, the float in a cistern Christine. Never occurred to me before, shouldn't be that surprised I guess, as I once saw a wooden cistern.
