A couple of guys brought some old GOTM topics back to the top so I thought I'd give GOTM another shot. If there is enough participation we might revive GOTM and bring it back as a regular feature. It all depends on the amount of interest. This month we'll feature globes that we've added to our collections in 2006. This is for globes you've added to your collection only. I'll start off with the first globe I bought this year. I got this globe from Rex the night before his auction. Its not much to look at but its very rare. Its from Standard of Kentucky and is one of only two known Super Crown Extra globes with this color combination.

I bought these three at Rex's auction. This Western globe displays nicely with my Mileage globe of the same design. Now I need to find the DS (Direct Service) version. I went to the auction to buy this globe. That can be a dangerous (expensive) mindset to have when attending an auction.

I bought this globe at an auction in February. I had been trying to buy one of these for 13 years.

I picked up a couple globes this year sort of by accident. I bought my first pump and decided I also needed my first glass bodied globe at the same time. I got them a couple days before the Iowa gas show. Nothing real rare but it does have the dark green outer circle instead of the newer lighter green color. The second globe I got at Iowa Gas. I had a duplicate sign that was in my collection untill I upgraded to a better one. Had the first one at a few shows, was tired of dragging it around so I traded it.

This globe came from my good friend Bill Fortune. This came from a lady that i have gotten to know over the last year or two. I bought some sinclair lenses from her a year or so back. [This message has been edited by Jarvis (edited 12-15-2006).]

You're off to a great start Brad! It was several years between my first and second globes.

I picked this one up in Columbus. It has some condition problems but I think I got a very good deal on it. [This message has been edited by Lastgas15 (edited 12-17-2006).]
