Aluminum Fishing Float found in Galveston, Texas on June 1, 2013. It was manufactured in La Coruna, Spain and manufacture date is around 1901. It is the size if a bowling ball. The Tower of Hercules Lighthouse on the float is the oldest lighthouse in the world.
Cool float ! I wonder if it came off the net & floated out of the med , across the atlantic to the usa to be picked up on a beach somewhere !!
A nice thought !!
I have the same buoy, although the markings are more faded. Could you advise how you were able to establish the year of manufacture and what you sold the buoy for?
I fashioned a table lamp with the float which I found in Essex in the UK.
was looking to see when they first started making Aluminum lol who knew its used in glass.....cool bobber... https://www.aluminum.org/aluminum-advantage/history-aluminum
