I originally posted this picture on facebook and thought some people might be interested in seeing it on TC.
This is a collection of floats in Malaysia.

There is a blog and facebook page called glass float junkie, which is where I got the picture from. The roller pin shaped floats are interesting. They're used to fish for octopus.

Very cool!

"I became interested since encountering them while hunting for wild boars. Never knew anything about it before. Was forewarned by local people about taking them home. They believed they housed evil spirits. That fired me even more"

Well that explains a lot.

Beautiful picture. He hand collected all 1000 of his floats off the beach. And he says he has to fight his family for space to display them - welcome to the collector's world :D
