John Kluge Collection - United States
John, who lives in Washington State, started collecting British globes when he lived in the UK. He was attracted to the varied different shapes of British globes which is reflected in his collection. He also has an impressive collection of British dashboard plaques which are illustrated below. John still collects British globes but has expanded his collection with the acquisition of pre war American glass globes where the design is etched into the glass – see photos. His collection is very much for indoors display and he makes his own display stands from woods such as maple, mahogany and walnut, and as can be seen from the photos they compliment his globes well. His latest project was the restoration of a petrol pump case into a liquor cabinet so as to dispense a more refined kind of spirit - cheers John and many thanks for your contributions.
