Wanted : bobbers like these, and other IRON bobbers
These are French made, don't know if they were ever sold in the USA ?
When you had a bite, the flag pops out !
They exist with a number of different medallions, this one was sold by/made for the French mail-order company Manufrance. FERAX is the tradename used by Manufrance, it can often be found on spinning reels and other fishing stuff they sold.

Hi,
They were offered for the first time in the 1903 Manufrance catalog, were at least available till 1952. They exist in an earlier shorter version and a later longer version. Over the years colors have changed a little, but were always types of red and green (at least the one I have seen so far, one must keep an open mind on these things..).
