I have four total globes and one spare body with no lenses. If anyone could help me get some lenses for my extra body I would appreciate it. If you notice, two of the globes including my extra body have the standard six inch base. The other two, the Grasses and the Chi-Namel have the early 4 inch base. The Chi-Namel came from a old hardware store and was an early brand of paint. If you notice, with the Chi-Namel, came an adapter to fit a 4 inch base to a 6 inch holder. Also on the Chi-Namel base is the remains of a Cincinatti Advertising Products decal which confirms CAPO made these globes. I don't think anyone else knew this until I found this globe with this sticker. Another interesting point is the brass tag on the Fyre-Drop. It has a patent date of June 14, 1919. It also says on the tag "Semi-Industructable Body" on it which I believe to be true considering how long the globe has lasted. These small metal-bodied globes are very, very rare and hardly ever surface. The Refiners globe came out of the collection of the infamous Glen Thompson who aquired it from a friends attic where it had been for 60 years. It is the only one known right now. The Fyre-Drop is one of two known, the other being restored by our very own Dawn. I did some restoration on my Frye-Drop when putting it together after a bought it.LOL. I don't know how many Chi-Namels are out there but I am sure not many. As far as the Grasses, I have never heard of another, maybe there is one. I appreciate the emails with the interest and if anyone can help me get any more or a set of lenses for my blank body let me know. I will pay top dollar as I am on a mission to collect these. Thanks again. Roger---------
