Hello and welcome to a blog that I hope will fill a void out there about collecting Antique globes. Now when I say this a lot of people think I mean snow globes, I don't, I am talking about Terrestrial globes the kind of globe you would find in geography class. I will center my posts around this hobby from a novice standpoint as even though I have been actively collecting since 2007 I know enough to know that I don't know that much about this hobby yet. I will also concentrate this blog on discussions about globes that beginner and intermediate collectors can afford. If your Idea of collecting globes is to purchase at auction a pair of Georgian or early Victorian floor globes with a hammer price of $55,000 then this blog is not for you.
I want to concentrate on the accessible collector market generally defined as globes from 1850-1960 with price points from $50-$5,000. Topics I want to cover in later posts include individual globes and makers, Rarity, condition, finding globes, auctions including ebay, globe dealers, and that is just a start...
So if this hobby strikes your interest as It has mine then come along on this journey with me as we learn together. BTW my email address is ktl340@aol.com please e-mail me anytime with your thoughts, ideas ect.. I welcome the correspondence. Kyle.....
I just found your site. I hope you haven't given up on your blog.
