Hahaha bud they doing that for along time also beach coming for yep beach glass smoothed from they waves. Point is you all call it japanese glass it is not as i mentioned japanese since many fishing areas and villages used glass. Cork was used for different applications just as today many use yep plastic for the same thing

there is no evidence of glass blowing up there. if they had them they either got them in trade or found them and used them.. the most likely and accepted thought is that it is Japanese glass. Whether or not it is, doesn t take away from what it is, a glass fishing float. Please do not continue with this as it serves no positive imput, but only to cause arguement.

Natives in alaska are more than on tribe. Aluetic sunaq name afew then you have the other islands and yep the main land.

Apr 6th, 2014 at 9:24:19 PM PDT by

well either way, it is a glass fishing float that was found in some beach wrack on Washington State beach above Ocean shores at least 50 years ago.

Apr 6th, 2014 at 9:48:13 PM PDT by

The alutetic kodiac island part of alaska the island chain. Only been there 8 thousand years or so. And where they started using glass is anyones guess and since one of the largest fishing areas in the world is in the islands be a neat question to ask for sure. Net fishing been around for a long lond time and only natives may do it near the shores .

Not for me to say one way or another, but it really did come from a fishing net :)

Apr 1st, 2014 at 2:38:29 PM PDT by

F&W& will be bidding
We use to sell these ourselves and they are the traditional "Japanese" style floats that the fishermen use to use.
Very cool looking to add to any nautical or beach theme room, business, net, etc...

Does it have liquid in it and does it have japan wrote on it. Thank you.

Apr 1st, 2014 at 7:55:00 PM PDT by

there is no liquid in it, it is airtight that s how they keep the nets floating. it is antique because most countries used cork, but Japan didn t have that so they made glass one but they use plastic now, and although it doesn t say Japan it was found off washington states coast

Apr 11th, 2014 at 7:12:33 AM PDT by

People find these Japanese floats here in Hawaii all the time and the real valuable ones have sea water in them as it means they were at great depth at some point; looking at them you just wonder how the water got in them as there are no holes and it's a sealed glass sphere. I have seen a variety of colors but most of them have a green tint.

Apr 11th, 2014 at 11:35:15 AM PDT by

yep, that s what I have been finding out. thank you for looking :)
