Globe of the month... post any globe you bought in 2006! We are getting some nice globes here. Feel free to e-mail me if you would like a globe posted and don't feel as if you can't do it yourself.

Ok, it turns out that 80% of my globe collection (all but 1) was purchased this calendar year... Amazing how globe collection growth seems to be exponential at first...

Here's the Phillips sheild from a local auction house...


And, I got this one from Jarvis before he had a chance to break it...


This Gulf 12.5" came from a booth at a festival...


And this one from Tom Buckles at Peotone. Actually, it's Tara's


Have a good one!

Great globes guys!

Here are a couple of our new additions from the past year.

Like Bob, we like oval globes too and were quite happy to get this Payless Kerosene at the fall Peotone auction, even if the back lens did get broken in transit before the auction. As you can see the globe is still shrinked wrapped like it was on auction day.



We had a regular "Eagle" for years, but sold it and this was the first Royal Eagle we'd seen in years so it followed my Dad home from Aumann's Kansas City auction a few weeks ago. It will get cleaned up and put on an original red body before too long.



I have always thought the Tennessee Coop globes were cool and when I had the chance to get this one in Iowa I jumped at the opportunity because they are so tough to find. It has a little edge wear but it still displays really nice.

Here are two more globes we picked up this year. The white Power To Pass keyhole has some damage but is actually different than the one we had that I posted in the Dixie Company of the Month. That one has black lettering on the lower part of the globe, this one has blue. The Benzol is a duplicate, but fits in nicely with the other keyholes.

2006 was a memorable year for me to say the least. You might have seen a couple of these on COTM:

East coast Shell from Peotone auction



Precious Roxana Shell globe from collector in Ohio



Signal lens from Ebay



Richfield Ethyl from Castelli auction



Flying A 15" lenses from Ebay split into two single lens globes





Apologies to all the repo fans, but it's a nice feeling to replace a repo lens with the real thing, from Ebay



That's enough for now!

Here are my 2006 globes.

A couple more globes from 2006.

This Rock Island Ethyl is pretty cool, the background is actually a light grey when lit up and is on an original blue CAPCO body.

Here is my first globe ever! A Christmas present from my Dad that he bought at a new antique mall. I think it's absolutely cool, and our cat was good with it too!!
Dave

Congratulations on your first globe, Dave! Those Skychief globes light up great and the condition of yours seems to be near perfect. Just to warn you, once you get that first globe, more seem to follow you home!

Aaron

Here are a couple one piece etched globes we picked up this year, we dont do much with the one piece stuff but both are cool globes. The Aircraft has some base damage, but it is not noticeable in the globe ring.

Hey thanks Aaron. I'm actually a quart can collector but I can tell you right now I'm already looking around for another globe to add the Sky Chief ! Can't get enough of this stuff!
Dave

Aaron love the Buckeye state quart.

Great looking globes guys..........

One of the globes I got this year.

I would guess over 1000 globes sold this year alone. Is this the biggest year for globes being sold? I know a few people have said globes have been a little soft this year and you could say that all these globes being offered for sale you can see why they might have been a little soft. Still goes to show you that even with that many being sold there were still plenty of buyers all year.
Keep posting your new additions to the collection for 2006!
