Also came across an old crime scene. One of my clients told me the story of about 15 years ago he threw hundreds of these lens and globes away when he was cleaning out his warehouse. These were some of the borken peices I pick up off the floor. Does anyone else have trouble throwing stuff like this away. I know its trash but I keep thinking about what it once was and not what it is now:( Looking for any Alabama based globes and advertising such as Coastal, Rebel, Interstate Oil, Foster Oil (supertane), Mutual, Oil Well, etc...
