Good day!

I'm looking to buy 2-3 old glass fishing floats as decorative items, similar to what is described at this webpage at Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_float

My preferences are for floats that have an original netting, manufacturer's marks, and are of diameter 3 inches or greater. All colors are fine but preference would be given for those with a deep green, amber or red colour.

The floats I'm specifically looking for should be genuine antique floats, not the modern reproductions that are so widely available. If you have any such floats for sale I'd be very keen to hear from you. Please send me a mail with the following info:

1. Size of float, presence, or absence of a net
2. Color, presence of absence of marks
3. Condition, including cracks, presence/ absence of internal water etc.
3. Approximate age, country of origin
4. Price
5. Suburb at which you live (to see if transport is feasible)
6. Pictures would be ideal

Additionally, I am interested in any other genuine, antique nautical items you might have, as I'm considering to redecorate my place according to a specific theme. Such items might include brass telescopes, sextants, compasses, clocks, coastal-themed memorabilia, signboards, preserved starfish, shells, painted sandpails, old books relating to coastal birds or the coast, coastal themed postcards etc. etc.

Thanks, hope we can do a deal!
