Albrechtsons

 'Albrechtsons' marked glass floats were produced in Sweden. According to our research on this trademark, it is likely to be the 'Jul. Albrechtson & Co.', a Swedish ship equipment supplier from Guthenburg that ordered glass fishing floats with the marking 'Albrechtsons' on from a Swedish glass factory (the name of which isn't known to us). The 'Jul. Albrechton & Co' establishment started in 1898 and lasted for 70 years. The marking is the embossed circular writing 'Albrechtsons' located on the sealing button of the glass float.  The floats with this marking that we came across are of clear and the coke bottle glass, cobalt blue, lavender ruby red, light sky blue,  Sizes vary from 5 to 8 inches in diameter.
