I believe the globe was discussed on OG when it first appeared on Ebay, but honestly I cannot remember what the consensus was at the time. IMO the fact that it has been listed many times with no takers speaks loudly enough! I'm sure for the price and the subject matter it would have been snatched up a long time ago if it had unquestionable provenance.

Basically this is an original repainted fired globe which has little value. The company did exist, may have used globes like this, but we don't know exactly what their globes looked like. Did they look like this or just say Aerotest? Seller claims etched. All fired globes are very lightly etched to hold the paint but not considered an etched type globe. Etched would be OK to repaint but again this is not etched. Inconsistencies in the repaint gave it away. I would value it at $200-$350 or so, whatever someone would pay. Neat piece anyway. Scott B.
