I drove forty mile out of my way back to the little town of Beulah and pulled the trigger for the float. Now that I have it back home the fun begins. I got a discount from the asking price which was nice. The float is a very light green now that I have it out in the light. The netting is old and tied correctly but is thinner than I have seen on many floats. The glass does have many tiny air bubbles and imperfections on the surface and is quite heavy. The hole is just over 6" wide and the float measures 14" in diameter. It is smaller than I thought but still impressive in my book. I'm glad I went back and rescued it from the back of and old grain elevator turned antique shop. Wish I had some history on it but it was just there. Thanks again for the help.
