Hey Lastgas...yeah that was me!! Small world. I guess it WAS 2 winters ago how time flies.Yes, I bought the Ethyl Zephyr on red ripple. They lite up nice!! When the bidding closed the first round and you were going to take choice, the auctioneer stated "Ah, he takes the one that is not cracked" and then he opened the bidding again. This threw me. I saw the chip out of the base but I thought "cracked??" I hadn't seen THAT. Even after I got home I would look at this globe and say to myself "Cracked??" I guess I'm too kind hearted. Felt bad for a guy that was there with his young son that really wanted one of those globes. Before the sale I overheard him tell his young son "I bet they sell for a hundred bucks each. Hope they don't go THAT high." The guy looked like he was really down on his luck. Hope he finds a globe someday....
