sorry about reviving an old thread, but I thought I could add some assistance.

Yes, as mentioned, original glass floats are very expensive, and if this in fact was an original, then $90 for the lamp is an AWESOME deal.
However, I would venture that the glass float in question is a re-make. I was given a 1.5ft diameter, orange tinted, rope tied re-make glass float from a friend who sold it at his store for something like $18! (THAT is a good deal). But it shows you that if he is selling it for $18, what did he buy it for? (this wasn't one of those cheesy looking remakes eather - it looked GOOD!)

I've always thought it would be neat to buy one of those round lamp post glass bulbs (from HD for like $8) and make a hanging glass "fishing float" swag lamp out of one of those. I'd have to learn how to tie that knot tho... :)
