If you mean Stream floats (for a Schneider Sport), they have been out of production for quite a few years. Excellent floats though, and worth whatever you have to pay to pry them loose from their owner.

Hey Gord, nice to see you on line. I have a pair of your Schneider floats on a Schneider Sport 60 and I can attest to their performance.

RE: wanted steam floats
As one who has used Stream Floats (in all sizes since their inception), I would recommend that you substitute the Commander floats instead. The last Stream floats were produced about 1996, and the ABS plastic has reached the limits of its age. Wherever I encounter guys who still fly the Schneiders, or the floats on other models the story is all the same...leaks,leaks and more leaks. The Commander (from Canada) are heavier, but identical in form, and MUCH more durable... At a little under $100 per pair ( depending on exchange rate) they still are a bargain....
