Hi I'm in Australia and have what I now know to be a glass toilet float (ballcock). It is an Eisler's Patient and is clear glass measuring 6 inches high by 4.5 inches in width and in pretty good condition with no chips. It has Eisler's Patent embossed on it. Until recently when I stumbled over an article on glass toilet floats I believed it to be some kind of bottle. Do you have any information on this item I would love to know more if you can help me.
