I found the following CS Koolmotor globes at Iowa Gas. The first is a wide body "Hull" with 2 lenses (CS did place this lens on a "Hull" clover body, This is the first wide body "Hull" I've ever seen), the middle is a NOS single lens on 15"(my understanding is one other complete globe is known to exist seen at auction), and the last is single lens clover body (small chip on the backside next to mounting hole).

Bought this elusive silver topper on ebay. I had seen one several years ago before I started collecting them. This is the companion to the gold one. They were reportedly given to Socony executives either as rewards for sales or years of service, or to denote parking privlidges. If anybody has anything in print to verify their origin I would like to include it in the next printing of the booklet.

Just got this great Michelin piece. I've never seen this one...

POSTING THESE FOR A NEW MEMBER....
