Like a lot of you, I have a "thing" for glass.... Thankfully my addiction runs along the lines of ad glass not globes.... Now there isn't any thing wrong with globes... They are beautiful, round, take up lots of room and are expensive.... Did I mention expensive?

I am cheap... it's true and I am long winded.....

Here is the latest recreation of the "Ad glass wall" that is in the house....



As I said, I have an affliction... Even though I had no place to display them... I kept collecting Tidewater Oil Flying A glass.... I needed to look at them everyday, so......

My new ad glass display.... (the shoebox lens is one made by T-way... Thanks again, Jim)

Nicole,to tell the truth, the open slot(s) is for at least one of the Veedol mini banks.... The two hardest banks to find are from Germany... (a blue 10/30 Flying V and a White 10/30 Flying V)....

I have been lucky enough to add a somewhat marginal looking white 10/30 Flying V bank (the one to the far right) and just won a better looking bank that will take it's place in a couple of weeks....

I am bidding on a blue Veedol Flying V mini bank, that I hope to win in a few days...
