I thought I had paid too much.
I bought this bundle of floats after offering the seller £25 and then worried that I may have overpaid. The picture was not the best but I took a punt as they looked in good condition. They turned up today and I definitely did not pay too much as there were far more than pictured. There are 60 new Belglow floats all marked, 8 Auger Nevamiss in packets and loads of others. 3 agate lined tip rings and a dozen high bells rings also fell out of the bundle wrapped around 2 swing tips. A good day.
If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.

Re: I thought I had paid too much.
Very nice John. It could take years to put together a group of floats that good.

Re: I thought I had paid too much.
What a result!
I think a couple of Beglow self cocking float copies need to be made ready for the start of the season.

I heard you the first time.
