Here I'll discuss questions about gas globes that come up fairly often. This will be a good review for advanced collectors and important information for the beginning or intermediate collector. Take the retail value, subtract the value of the body, divide by two and then re-add the value of the body. This is how I estimate the value of a broken three-piece metal, glass or Capco globe. Often, I am asked about pricing a damaged globe.
Pricing damaged globes can be a very difficult thing to do.
And, in the end, it's only an estimate. But, first, you must start with a base or foundation and build from there. This principle applies to any damaged globe. Your first step is to determine what the globe is worth in mint condition and work backwards from there. In this example you determine that you have a medium detailed White Eagle globe.
