DESCRIPTION OF ITEM ... YOU ARE CONSIDERING THE EXACT GLOBE SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS
sure their kitschy, but oh the memories, driving with the family on some crazy summer vacation, stopping on the turnpike at a Howard Johnsons, and looking at the silly chotskies, those plastic domed wonders, shack them and the snow falls, even if your in FLORIDA. north, south, east and west, they all got their snow domes, Or your in the city walking around, Mom can I get a snow dome. some have glitter, some have fake snow, anyway....
from a huge collection of 60's or 70's vintage plastic snow domes, as you see, missing most or all of the liquid (can you refill these ?)--the variety is wonderful, all listed individually, in the condition shown. some have more wear than others. WHAT FUN. and it is always very interesting to see what objects are used to display a city or state, no really, check them out....
here is a bit of history from Wikipedia on the snow globeWhen the first snow globe exactly became well-known remains uncertain, but seemingly dates to the early 19th century in France. They may have appeared as a successor to the glass paperweight, which became popular a few years earlier. Snow globes appeared at the Paris Universal Expo of 1878, and by 1879 at least five or more companies were producing snow globes and selling them throughout Europe.In 1889, a snow globe containing a model of the newly built Eiffel Tower was produced to commemorate the International Exposition in Paris, which marked the centenary of the French Revolution. Snow globes became popular in England during the Victorian era and, in the early 1920s, crossed the Atlantic to the United States of America where they became a popular collectors item. Many of these globes were produced by Atlas Crystal Works, which had factories in Germany and America.At the end of the 19th century Erwin Perzy, a producer of surgical instruments, invented the so-called Schneekugel (snow globe) and got the first patent for it. Originally his goal was to develop an extra bright lightsource for use as a surgical lamp. As he tried to intensify the candlepower of a so-called Schusterkugel (a water filled flask used to focus light since the Middle Ages) with particles made out of different materials for reflection purpose, the effect reminded him of snowfall and it's said that by this he got the idea for a snow globe. He then built his first actual globe with the basilica of Mariazell as a model in it. Because of the great request for his snow globes, Perzy, along with his brother Ludwig opened a shop in Vienna, where the production continues until today as a family business.[2][3] Today the globes get exported throughout the world; the material out of which the "snow" is made is handed down from generation to generation as a production secret (it should float as long as possible in the water before sinking down).In the United States, the first snow globe-related patent was granted in 1927 to Joseph Garaja of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In 1929, Garaja convinced Novelty Pool Ornaments to manufacture a fish version underwater.In America, during the 1940s, snow globes were often used for advertising. In Europe, during the 1940s and 1950s, religious snow globes were common gifts for Catholic children. Snow globes have appeared in a number of film scenes, the most famous of which is the opening of the 1941 classic Citizen Kane.In the 1950s, the globes, which were previously made of glass, became available in plastic. Currently, there are many different types of snow globes available. These globes are produced by a number of countries and range from the mass-produced versions of Hong Kong and China to the finely crafted types still produced in Austria. Snow globes feature diverse scenes, ranging from the typical holiday souvenirs to more eclectic collectibles featuring Christmas scenes, characters, popular icons, animals, military figures, historical scenes, etc. Snow globes have even been used for election campaigns.
