This globe is from the collection of Lonnie and Aaron Hop. Tresler Silver Comet was used in the mid-50's through the mid-60's.

Awesome globe! Thanks for the peek.

Here's a White Rose globe from north of the border. This one dates from the 1938-67 era.



Thanks to Aumamm Auctions for the use of their picture.

Aaron Hop sent me this picture. This company was from Southern Ohio and was bought out by Ashland. This is the only known example.

Thanks Aaron for sharing this globe and the info about it.
