Hey Chuck, do the globes rotate?
I saw a story on a post here a while back about rotating crowns and was wondering if yours did?
No matter they look GREAT!

Mike and Chuck,
Supermanamerica on oldgas is the one who made the rotators for the crowns.


Mick, Are you kidding me you didn't know who Chip Foose is?

Rotators are available from Time Passages:
Globe Rotators

They may be available from other vendors - but I don't see them on their web sites.

Later . . .

Mobil,
It says you can use them on a pump or desk. That's i would like to see one. The ones superamericaman made are killer.

Jarvis. I think the base of the desk tops are to big fit on any globe holder. Kim is a craftsman, his rorators are a work of art

Does this rotate system existed in the past or not? I have seen the video on youtube on top of a visible.

Thanks

Enrico

Yes they made them and were on pumps. Every once in awhile you will see one on ebay. I would use a repop over a 50 year old if your going to run it very much.
