Everyone's going to want to see a picture before they can tell you if they have seen one like it before.

Really cool piece! What the heck is it made out of? Condition looks pretty darn good!

They are a plaster composite, about 24" and heavy. I wouldn't say they are really rare, I've seen more of them than the Marathon Blue globes. Value is whatever someone is willing to pay, but I have seen them for $800-$10,000 for one still in the box. This one is pretty rough, it has either been painted over or is faded bad, hard to say.

I would agree with pogo gas . Many of these seem to have been painted many times . Some, from what I have seen, in the box ones, came unpainted . I have seen them from 2000 - 10000 . They are a great piece . They are legit and you can tell if they are old by examining the plaster .
