That pump is killer any way you have it but IMO a globe wouldn't hurt or improve the look but it's your pump do what you want

IMO the globe on a wayne 60 looks great, improves the overall proportions and the globe bezel really adds to the look of the pump too, it's so ornate. I'd definitely add it, just takes a great pump up a notch. Green or polished aluminum metal body globe would look great, but if your not selling it its really your opinion that matters!

If you have the bezel, I say add a globe. On another note Mike, I see no where to hang that new Distilled plate. Hmm.... maybe we should talk.

Not all Wayne 60's need a globe to look good!

all depends on the globe for me... id leave that one as-is. but I do think Wayne 60s look amazing with odd shaped glass globes such as a standard crown or cities service clover.

The majority of the 60's that I have had did not have globes. Richard

Thanks everyone who gave me their input! It will stay as it is and when I sell it, the new owner can change it if they want.
I'm glad the numbers were as close as my thoughts with plus and minuses both ways.
Thanks Mike

If you are going to leave it displayed where it is, leave the globe off as the globe will detract from the rest of your display. Beautiful pump and display. If you are going to display the pump elsewhere, and you like globes, put one on!
