Went into the bonus room and discovered that one of my robes was broken after we had some guests. No one owned up to it.

Always sad to see any globe broken, but that one would hurt me a lot!
I guess it's a good thing I don't have too many visitors at my place......especially since I just went out and counted 22 globes around the perimeter of my dining room floor!

Yeah. I worked at a distribution center in my small home town when it was closing shop. The boss said just take anything that I wanted so I picked up a couple of them that seemed nice. Should have gotten a bunch more but what does a 15 year old know? Just been sitting ever since. I have no clue how valuable it was but sad to lose a piece of history.

How long have you had the globe?
Is the body still OK? It looks as if only the lens was broken......The clover bodies are tough to come by, so even if the body is damaged it's still worth keeping IMO.

Yeah, I have the other lens. It was separate from the globe and in a closet. The globe itself had significant damage to the side from the 80's so I was keeping it because of the lenses.

That is a shame, those are great globes.
