Got my first globe today !! obviously it's a Sky Chief and I believe it's a Gill body (glass)? I actually think I love it LOL, such a nice piece of craftsmanship and neat such a fragile item has survived so long. I was so excited and nervous when assembling it my hands were shaking ! Got it all together, lit up, and mounted in it's new home. Thanks for looking ! Got some really cool porcelain Texaco tanker letters to but having trouble uploading photos, when I figure it out I'll throw those up as well.

Nice globe!

Very nice!!! I love a glass bodied globe!!

Nice first piece. Congratulations you are now officially hooked!

That is a great globe! Well now that you have taken the first step by buying globe #1, globe #2...3...&..4 won't be far behind! Lol. Congrats on a nice globe!

Yes that's a gill body globe and a nice one to start with. Be careful it starts with one then five then forty. They are like roaches they multiply

apologies for the non-petro items (toys) in one of the photos, was only trying to show how I had globe displayed not trying to show other stuff. will be more careful in future.

Pete, Nice globe! I just picked up my first globe also,they are so much better in youre hand, then they are on the computer screen! Congrats! Hope you have many more come youre way.

No need to apologize, we always like to see what is lurking in the backgrounds!

You're hooked, you just may not realize it yet. I have about 25 now without having a place to display them well. I have to make my self not look at and for new ones.
Don't apologize for the other stuff, most people here have varied interests.
Nice mix of glass and lighting.

Great first globe. And like they have been saying,make room for more,cause you are now hooked!

watch out, they are like rabbits-- they just keep multiplying GREAT globe

Nice globe. But watch out and take advice that they do become addicting. There is crack in the lenses or something!!

Good first globe!! When you start getting more, they dont stop! And also, the more rare, the better!

Pete, you've caught the sickness that has no cure..

Looks great!

Awesome Garage!

My first globe was an American on a Gill body. The body had gotten broken that day and the guy was upset about it. He offered it to me for $25.00 I glued the base of the body back together and still have it. Since then I have picked up another sixty. It's a dangerous bug, be careful. Wait till you break a few or start finding ones you forgot that you had.

61 globes for "60wayne"??? You are 1 over and need to sell me one! Lol.

Thanks for all the nice compliments and feedback guys !! I can see what you mean about the addiction part of it, It's by far my favorite piece I've collected yet. I can see myself having "a few" more, I already measured I can get 9 more up on that shelf with this one LOL. Guess I better start saving !

If you park them at an angle I bet you can get more. Don't ask me how I know.
