ALL ORIGINAL WHITALL, TATUM & CO #20 HANGING PHARMACEUTICAL APOTHECARY SHOW-GLOBE [ALSO KNOWN AS A "CARBOY"] WITH ORIGINAL VICTORIAN WALL-MOUNT HANGING BRACKET, ORIGINAL SUSPENSION-CHAINS AND HARDWARE, AND PRISTINE CRYSTAL-CLEAR GLASS GLOBE (NO CLOUDING).

• JUST AS BARBER SHOPS WERE IDENTIFIED BY THE ICONIC RED AND WHITE STRIPED BARBER-POLES MOUNTED AT THEIR ENTRANCES, SHOW GLOBES WERE THE ICONIC SYMBOL USED TO IDENTIFY PHARMACIES, COMPOUNDING PHARMACIES [SOMETIMES IDENTIFIED AS CHEMISTS], AND DRUG STORES IN THE 1800'S AND THE TURN OF THE 20TH CENTURY.

• THE COLLAR IS MARKED WITH A PATENT DATE OF JUNE 16, 1891

• THE VICTORIAN WALL-MOUTED HANGAR AND SUSPENSION-CHAINS/HARDWARE ARE ALL ORIGINAL TO THE ITEM AND SHOW THE PATINA OF AN ITEM OF THIS AGE (SEE PHOTOS)

• THE HANGING ARM OF THE WALL BRACKET ARTICULATES 180 DEGREES AND THE CHAINS ARE THE ORIGINAL LENGTH (NOT CUT SHORTER)

• THE GLASS GLOBE IS CRYSTAL-CLEAR WITH THE NECK AND MOUTH OPENING VOID OF ANY CHIPS (MOSQUITO BITES)... ANTIQUE GLASS OF THIS SORT IS GENERALLY STAINED AND HAS A CLOUDINESS THAT CANNOT BE REMOVED (THIS GLOBE DOES NOT – SEE PHOTOS).

• THE LAST THREE PHOTOS SHOW EXAMPLES OF RECENT SALES AND OFFERINGS (NOTE THAT THE SALE IN PHOTO #4 ONLY INCLUDES THE HANGING BRACKET, CHAINS, AND UPPER-COLLAR... BUT IS MISSING THE GLOBE AND THE HARDWARE TO MOUNT IT)

• THE ITEM MEASURES 36 1/2" FROM THE TOP OF THE MOUNTING BRACKET'S SWING-ARM TO THE LOWEST TIP OF THE BOTTOM FINIAL

• THE WALL BRACKET'S ARTICULATING SWING-ARM EXTENDS 15" FROM THE WALL
