Harcork floats

Post by Snape »

I recently found some floats which I think are harcork floats but I am not 100% sure what makes a float, a harcork float.
Is it a brand or a style?
Anyone throw some light on this please?

They normally have Harcork printed on the stem in white letters Snape but that will obviously disappear if they have been repainted.

Arcadia has some lovely snippets of information and pictures.

Harcork floats are quite distinctive and are usually quite recognisable from the colour scheme. Could you post some pictures Snape?
