My last find on the west coast of Bergen


Hi glass float collectors!

If you look closely into the picture you'll see a boat house down by the sea,  boat house owner passed away 3 years ago and he was a great guy, fisherman, farmer and carpenter. He worked hard every day for an income and was very clever her daughter told me. He's name was Nils J. Solvik and was situated at Klokkarvik just a few miles north/west from center Bergen. Glass floats added in this post was found upstairs inside he's boathouse during a restoration on the ceiling.
Fishing nets was rotted and had plenty hole, floats and net was in good shape for its age and I bought a few egg floats and an extremely beautiful round 4" float with plenty bubbles, swirls in the glass, look at pictures, it was very difficult to get a picture in the right light to show the real beauty from this float.

All egg floats are approx. 4 x 3" and very old and was used on deep sea fishing net
Antique eggs and beautiful netted.

Anyone interested in a purchase, let me know!
