Years ago, I bought a Imperial Gas Globe with only one lens. Had it on a shelf, the other day I was moving some things around, and remembered I needed to get the other side. Well there was one on Ebay, and I bought it. Just got it in the mail, and it is broken... It was packed in peanuts, but the person left a wire/spring plate holder on it. I assume this it what broke the globe. Box looked fine, but it was broken, and in several pieces. Now to see what the seller is going to do, and look for another one.
