Antique fishing floats: In 1919, according to Keith Harwood in "The History of the Float", a Mr E Talbot took out the first of two patents for a float made of paper. Zephyr floats, as they were named were manufactured in a wide range of patterns and sizes by Zephyr Angler's Supplies Ltd of Lowestoft. Zephyr A.S. stopped manufacture around 1964, making any surviving examples at the very least 60 years old.
