Hey Gang.
Here's a couple of things we picked up at Iowa Gas.
First is a nice 'Ice Cream' globe Jodi got.
Aaron and Lonnie caught me in the parking lot and showed me this. They thought I might want to get it for Jodi for a birthday/anniversary present - but since I didn't have enough cash on hand, I had to let Jodi know about it in order to buy it.
But I took the globe inside with me - being careful to hold the 'empty' side towards her (only one lens on this body). She started to give me some grief about buying another glass body (especially since we had a half-dozen under the tables!). I let her get a bit worked up - then I slowly rotated the body so she could see the lens. That changed her tone immediately. LOL
So anyway, she had to go out in the parking lot to pay Lonnie then. (She was going to get the box for the globe while she was out there too.)
When she returned, she handed me a box - and this globe was in it. She had bought me this globe for my collection of 'Ethyl' lenses.
Aaron showed up a couple of seconds later with the empty box for her globe.
This is a complete globe. Two nice lenses in a aluminum screw-base narrow body. The lenses have a bit of discoloration at the mounting nothches and at 12:00 - but they're kinda hard to find, so I don't mind.
Later . . .
