I've been looking for some new lights to put over my bar in my Basement... I have an original 1930's Coke Milk Globe Fixture but didn't want to risk hanging that up... SO I found these matching 1930's-1940's milk globes that match pretty close to the original at an antiques store recently. I had my buddy make up some Coke Graphics for me and placed logo on all four sides in Red, and some Green Pin Striping around the top like the original. Mounted with some Brass fixtures and 40 watt bulbs and TADA... Turned out pretty cool if I don't say so myself!  What ya think...  Got about $20.00 bucks into the set!....

They look great!
Well done!

You should look into getting the frosted cabinet glass etched.
I think that would look cool - IMHO!

Eric, I did think about doing that ... but I don't need any trouble with Coke Police...  It's getting harder to find the globes too...
