We finally landed the infamous World of Witco globe after searching for quite a long time. We definitely paid "market price" but were happy to do so- it's a classic!

But it seems when it rains it pours... not three days later we stumbled on an interesting variant that I hadn't seen before in an antique store (and at a good price) so we did what any good obsessive compulsive would do and now have both.

I've seen earlier posts on this thread with an assortment of different styles for this piece (wire on the right instead of the left, yellow paint, etc), but has anyone seen a green and orange version like below?

The bottom globe looks a bit bigger in the photo, but both are exactly the same size and construction.

I'm wondering if anybody knows exactly how many variations are floating around out there, what the rarity/demand is of certain variants, etc?

Trouble with finding a DIFFERENT globe is that now we're talking ourselves out of finding a place for BOTH...
