Hi Joey,
This isn’t a Crystal Ball, but these used to be used here in Gloucester every day. Any guesses? There’s a hint in the photo.
Enjoy!

Net floats. And they came in beautiful colors as I remember.
They used them to hold the scene nets up in a circle. Most were like brown coke bottles and then they used tin. My grand father Mike Frontiero used to bring me all this neat stuff.
Net floats – and I seem to recall they came in beautiful colors, too
Fishing float to hold up the nets.
The net floats are amazingly durable….I found them in use by Vietnamese fisherman.
Very nice shot, Bill –
I have some on my mantle, they are gorgeous! Nice photo too
They were put in a net bag then tied to larger fishing net to keep one edge of the net afloat while the other net dropped in the water column.
