I am seeking input on to what a fair price for this globe would be. i am no expert by any means. Another member is interested in it and I need help. It's marked Hull and 3/41. It looks very near mint to me for being 75 years old, but refer back to the "I'm no expert" reference. That mark to the left of the T in the first photo is the camera, it isn't on the globe.Thanks, Dave

If you look at the last Morphy auction. Black T Globes went from $475-$600 plus the buyers premium or as high as $732. That range covers basic milk glass globes to ones with the copper bases. I don't think any of these were marked as "Hull". There was a Black T that was dated 1937 that sold for $550.

Copper screw base on a hull body and lenses in 9+ condition---I have seen this combination bring as much as $1200 when someone wants the very best, and this globe appears to be that caliber!
Like the old saying--" High quality oats are a pricey commodity, but if you're willing to accept some that have already been thru the horse--well, those will be somewhat cheaper"!

Thanks for all the input. The other member decided it wasn't the globe for him. I'll decide what to do when I get home in a few weeks.

Kevin and Randy are correct. I sell these in the $750-$850 range in that condition nice globe! As we know some items fall through the cracks and go less and some people will pay a crazy price but those are anomalies. Scott B.

still trying to figure out why this in the for sale section Because it is for sale. I've told the people that have PM'd me that I'm away from home for a few weeks and I won't be able to send any more pictures or details until I get back. Dave

The consensus is $800 at least and that is what I would need out of it.
