Finally getting around to tell about this find. My wife has a class for here job so me and the kids go alone and we figure we will do some back to school shopping. I am hanging out in the hotel and a friend texted me about a globe a guy has. So he sends me the info and get ahold of the guy. Says it only has one lense but I figure I will check it out since it is close by, we make plans to meet up that evening. When I get there this is what it is. He tells me it was his grandfathers and he wants to sell because he is worried it would get broken. I am sure this is my BOTY. Keep looking it is out there! Some before and after cleaned.

That's what its all about Les! I own my Wayne 800 because of another Old Gassers tip and he has an uber rare pump because I told him about it one day! Theres a lot of items in my collection that wouldn't be here if not for others! I think I enjoy helping others as much as I do finding stuff for myself!

Now, you guys are getting pretty philosophical...sort like if you seek happiness for yourself it will always elude you. When you take the time to create it for others...miraculously; you will find it yourself.

I can buy into that, train of thought. Now, let's create some goodwill and happiness! You guys can start sending me all your leads. wink
