Following are known markings of 6" globes from the
original "Key, Lock and Lantern" magazine articles. Please
see copyright information and other comments in the footnotes.
Markings are grouped by railroad and
have been recorded as accurately as possible. However, due to
the nature of the survey, there may be inaccuracies, particularly
with regard to capitalization (e.g., "Y" vs "y"
in "Ry"). Next to the markings are letter pairs (or
in the case of cut globes, a letter followed by "Cut").
The first of each letter pair indicates color (C = clear; R = red;
B = blue; G = green; Y or A = yellow or amber) and the second indicates
type of marking (C = cast, E = etched, unless specified as Cut). For
example, CC = "clear cast" and BE = "blue etched ".
Two letters separated by a slash means a two-color globe, e.g.,
G/CC = "green over clear cast". Logo globes are those globes
which have, as part of the marking, artwork which was a trademark
of the railroad, e.g., the B&O Capitol Dome.
