Re: Float -Any Ideas
Very similar but only 4 inches of cork on the 8 inch Thames float, this one must have 6 inches judging by the lighter in the picture. It could very well be a pike float..

See what you mean WC, the stem on mine is a lot shorter with the cork all the way down.. The thames has a longer stem

If you look at the descriptions of these Harcorks, you will see 8" Thames
We come from that part of the world originally and remember my dad using these on the Thames

Re: Float -Any Ideas
I think the maker is 'Auger' and the range 'nevamiss'. I have several Auger floats and they have the same colour scheme and coach lines etc.

I know the link shows a smaller float, but you can see it's of the same range.

Yes I think you've got it Dave, I can see the resemblance in the colour scheme. We need a Auger catalogue now to find it's intended use..

Two Harcork marked floats for comparison. The bigger one is approx 6":

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.
