Probably not a real glass float but I don't know. It is pretty heavy. Obviously the netting isn't from a real float. The netting isn't as clean as it looks in the pics. The globe is about 12" in diameter. There's a hole drilled in the top only and the string is attached to a rusty metal ring at the bottom. The wiring actually looks pretty old and the chain is rusty. There's a guy at a flea market here that sells glass floats and he makes the netting himself. I may see if he can redo this with a more traditional fishing netting.
