Description

I got this float about 30 years ago on a Native American reservation on the coast of Oregon.

It is 30" in circumference and has the authentic button showing it to be hand blown. Lots of bubbles in this beautiful green float. It is also marked with Japanese characters I have not been able to identify. I have included a drawing of what I think the marks are. This float does not have any seams.


Excellent condition.; If you wish insurance on this item, please notify me after your purchase so I can add it to the invoice.


Apparently there are people out here selling reproduction floats and passing them off as the real thing. I have included some web links for you in case you want to check this out.
