There is a 15" glass body that is solid but uses rings like a gill. 12.5 glass bodies look like the regular 13.5 wide bodies. Also oval glass bodies are solid.
There are many differant gill sizes from 13 1/4" to 13 5/8" and 14" i think.
You will find hull bodies in different colors but ripples are the most you see in colored glass.
That pretty much covers the glass bodies unless i am forgetting something. Any questions on glass bodies before we move on to metal bodies.

Brain, I wasn't going to do anything on 1 piece globes as i didn't want to get into the differences. This was going to be on bodies them selves. Maybe later on on GOTM we can do one piece globes.

OK, I have one question, this will make me sound like a newbe, but here it goes. On the Dixie key holes, do those globes have lenses or are they baked on paint. I've never really took a good look at one. My gut feeling is that they have lenses.

Does anyone have a picture of a red (or yellow) hull body they can post showing how one side of the globe is open?
How about pictures of original and repro ripples?
I've seen several glass bodies that have indentations for both the regular 3 & 9 o'clock bolt pattern and the 12, 4 and 8 o'clock bolt pattern. The ones I've seen only have the holes ground for one bolt pattern or the other. Has anyone seen a globe where all 5 holes are ground?
JJ, do you have a picture of the stepped bodies that Sinclair and Richfield used?
I bought a wide body that once I received it I suspected it was a repro. I started pulling wide body globes off the shelf to compare it to. I compared it to nine known originals and it was different than all of them. In fact the nine wide bodies I already had were all different than each other! I started looking more closely at the bodies. One of them is laminated glass. The outer part of the body is clear. It has a layer of milkglass inside it.

Bob, I am not sure if i have a stepped body with taking globes off the shelf. Sinclair and Richfield used the stepped body and i think Pergal repops that stepped body.
I think my ball crank has all 5 holes in the body. I can't get to it right now to get it down and look.
I can take a picture of my repop ripple next to my original ripple to get a picture for comparison. I forgot about doing that.

I think that covered the glass bodies. I hope guys have a better feel for what is what on glass bodies now.
Anyone have any questions before we move on to the metal bodies?
