- 9 GLOBES ARE ALL ORIGINAL 100 YEAR OLD ONES. EXCEPT FOR ONE WHICH IS PART OF THE SET OF 3 SMALLER ONES, YOU CAN TELL THERE IS A SLIGHT ALMOST UNOTICEABLE LIGHT MILKINESS TO IT BUT VERY DIFFICULT TO TELL SINCE IT IS STILL AT LEAST 50 YEARS OLD ANYWAY SO EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT 100 YEAR OLD LIKE ALL THE OTHER 9 ONES, IT MUST STILL BE AT LEAST 50 YEARS OLD MEANING IT'S STILL VERY VERY OLD AND VERY RARE.
