I actually flew home with it on the plane. It even went through the X-ray at the security check point. Unlike old fish you find now and then these didn’t have stuffing inside. They were gutted and had an animal bladder of some type inserted and blown up to hold the shape while it dried. After cutting the hole in the top for the lighting the apparatus I had to remove the bladder piece by piece with kitchen tweezers. NASTY. I actually have a large vintage netted green glass float with a whole already cut. Just need to find the time to get it lit and hung.
