Really? but why is it that when it is soaked in water the twine tightens and when it is lighted its color changes from black to fire like color?

Because you have a good imagination but can't pull the wool over our eyes. Try something else.

 Grin Grin Grin Those floats were often found in Italy in fact I believe that they were the inventors of these glass floats.

The manufacturer of the float was identified by name by another member on your other post.   The good news is the company has not made any of these floats since the 1970's so you can at least say it is "really old"   Smiley

 "double FF" float. This symbol is the word "kita" which means "North". It was used by the Hokuyo Glass Company of Aomori Japan.  This company stopped making floats in the late 70's.


It only appears black,Its amber. When lighted you see the true color.

Agents used to produce "black" glass are: Chromium, a powerful coloring agent used to produce dark green to black glass, now replacing the iron oxide used previously.
Sulfur with iron and carbon produces amber glass which can vary from very light straw to a deep reddish-brown or even black.

The twine tightens because It swells when it gets wet.
