Straight from the sea to your shelf…
Visit Shop 97, where hundreds of Japanese glass fishing floats fill every corner of this dedicated maritime space. If you’ve ever combed a Pacific Northwest beach hoping to find one of these ocean treasures, this shop saves you the trip. The collection is remarkable in its variety, with floats ranging from tiny palm-sized orbs to stunning oversized globes. You’ll find them in shades of aqua, deep green, cobalt blue, and clear glass, many still wrapped in their original rope netting or twine cradles.
Serious float collectors will appreciate the depth of selection here. Cylindrical rolling pin-style floats and rare color variations sit alongside the classic round shapes, and many feature distinct markings, seams, and bubble patterns that tell the story of their origins. Some are nestled in weathered copper or rustic rope cradles, while others sit bare, their glass catching the light beautifully. With bins and shelves packed full of floats in every size and condition, there’s plenty to dig through whether you’re adding to an established collection or picking up your very first piece.
Beyond the glass floats, Shop 97 leans fully into its nautical theme with some eye-catching larger pieces. A handsome wooden ship’s wheel with a brass center hub stands as a real statement piece, while vintage maritime signal flags add bold splashes of color. Weathered ship’s lanterns, including a red-lensed port light, round out the coastal atmosphere. Whether you’re a dedicated float hunter searching for unusual sizes and rare markings, or you’re simply looking for the perfect piece of Pacific Northwest coastal decor, Shop 97 is a must-stop destination.
