<p>[QUOTE="cxgirl, post: 9579472, member: 63"]Hi all,</p><p>Glass fishing floats - what are these black lines in the glass? Not cracks, some sort of an inclusion in the glass? Something that happens when they are made? The blue balls are definite floats, they have been in the water as there are marks on them that don't show in the photo. Not modern pieces, they are heavy glass. Living on the West Coast I'm familiar with fishing floats so I'm sure these aren't the decorative ones made in the 1970s although I do admit I've never come across a purple one before. It is a thick heavy glass you expect with glass floats. So are the black lines something from when the glass is blown/made?</p><p>any information appreciated</p><p>thanks for looking<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]462089[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]462090[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]462091[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]462092[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
