The globes were probably subcontracted by the maker of the Star Sculptures, 
Bill Parker.  There were being sold by American Science and surplus 
(SCIPlus-dot-com) for $39.95 each, only catch was that most of them were open 
to air.  It turned out that a significant fraction of them still had gas 
fills, of which three examples were shown at the Teslathon.

When I posted a note that these were available a year and a half ago, I was 
flamed by someone commenting about selling 'dead light bulbs'.  I bought 
three, and received one working and two open ones.  I should have bought a 
couple of dozen.  Even if I had found two or three good ones, it would have 
more than paid for the dead ones.

It's my understanding that Parker found out about them and ordered all of 
the remaining stock destroyed.
