Scoring a Weber-Costello on e-bay

Webercostello_1Last night I went on e-bay for the first time in a few weeks and saw a very nice Weber-Costello globe up for sale.  The price was right (i.e. low) and the globe has to be from the 50s or earlier, given that Weber-Costello stopped making globes in that timeframe.  In the pictures on e-bay it seemed to be in good condition. I did win the auction and now I’m very much looking forward to the delivery.  The seller has confirmed that it’s been shipped… so now it’s just a waiting game…
