I'm not a globe guy. (thankfully or I even be more broke) But, I must admit this is a great thread! Thanks to all who have shared your photos as I would never get to see such beautiful and special looks at gas and oil history.
Lonnie, you are doing an outstanding job, I forgot how much I love looking at these photos.
Looking for Tide Water/ Tide Water-Associated/ Tidewater items

Check out the close up on this Kerr McGee globe. A plane, car, and a covered wagon with a city / factory scene in the back ground, all pictured over the outline of the state of Oklahoma.
It turned up Ebay a few years back and I am not exactly sure who owns the globe today. Neat piece and the only one that I know of.
I'll try to round up a few more photos of transportation globes in the next few days. in the meantime if you have any photos to add please do so. Thanks!
Lonnie WOW!

Here are a couple of photos I took at the 2008 Iowa Gas Show. The Tyreco globe is pretty scarce, I only know of a couple of them in collections.
The Hudson Transport is also an uncommon globe. The Regular and Ethyl versions turn up regualarily but the Hudson Transport version is a little tougher to come by.
I have a few more photos to post on this thread and we will be starting a new Globe of the Month after the first of the year.
Merry Christmas to all!

Here are a couple of more transportation related globes.
The Thoni Oil Company features a futuristic "Buck Rogers" type space ship.
The second one is from the Viking Oil Company which was out of Algona, Iowa. Very few globes feature sailing ships and I can't help but wonder what tie in a sailing ship would have with a company from Iowa?
I will see if I can find a few more photos and next week we will start a new topic for globe of the month.
We would like to wish everyone a safe, prosperous, and Happy New Year!
