Notes:
From collection of beach combed floats collected by Thomas S. Parke.
These floats are used as line floatations, tied into "long line" or vertical pot line to help floatation along the line. These floats assist surface floats in holding long line upper end at surface for retrieval of pots or other bottom gear.
