How they got it onto the glass base without breaking the glass is something I'd love to see. Oval glass bodies, clover-shaped bodies, clover Hull bodies, shoe box and large Gill bodies are among the many other types of glass bodies one may run into when collecting globes. By the way, Phillips shield-shaped globes are all plastic, with plastic inserts, never glass. Please remember when you ship any glass globe with glass inserts, the inserts must be removed. The only exception is when a globe has the inserts caulked in.
Inserts vibrate during shipping no matter how they are wrapped.
Glass vibrating on glass breaks. I hear about it often. I've had to tell some auction houses the proper shipping methods for gasoline globes. Do not assume anyone knows how to ship a globe, because, honestly, I've seen very few people do it right. Go over in detail the shipping instructions with anyone shipping a globe to you and make sure they understand it.
