Yesterday I found a float. Not sure if it is vintage or not, but still a nice find. Is there any way to know if this is actually a true one or if someone made it for decor? The glass is approximately 5" across and heavy. It doesn't seem to be painted and at the top is knot where the glass was sealed after being cut off the rod. Thoughts? If nothing else, it is still cool and only cost 80cents. :)
