I found a piece recently but kind of balked at the price. I've gotten too many things that I've thought were "steals" that turned out to be otherwise.

It's a glass fishing float converted to be a swag lamp. It's one of the largest glass floats I've seen and the glass is orange. Whoever made it cut a circular hole in the top and the bottom and installed a light socket that takes a long skinny bulb. The glass is in netting as they usually are, the bottom of the netting has a small tassle that looks old. The glass looks like orange glass, the netting could be fairly new (looks clean), the tassle looks old, the wiring looks pretty new and the chain I didn't look closely at.

It's a large glass float lamp for $90. I asked the lady if she knew it's history (from a restaurant? made recently?) but she didn't know much about it. Worth $90?? Thanks!
