I was recently sent these floats by May Berth Jones with a letter explaining they were made by Gerald to fish the deeper swims at Redmire.
Thought you might like a look.

Thanks for sharing Andrew. You don't get to see many floats with a history behind them.

Here you go, i have obscured the top right as it has an address.
The floats came with a cork avon an old disgorger and a selection of porcupine quills, a lovely selection from a great angler. I like to think they caught a carp or two from Redmire.
