Does anyone know of a source for the glass globe that goes in this running light? Thanks for any assistance.

Ebay?
Is there a manufacturer mark on it? Perko maintains a pretty big catalog and some designs have been around a long time.
This guy has lots of misc hardware though it'd be easier to buy a whole light rather than just the lens http://www.classicboathardware.com/

This is a Wilcox Crittenden fixture. Have checked their site but found nothing.

Give the guys at Dunato's Second Wave (206.632.4371) in Seattle a call. They seem to always have a bin of bits and pieces for that style light.

No affiliation other than giving them too much of my money.

There is a Canadian Ebay store called Boaterbits that you may want to check out. This would be for a complete light most likely. It does look like a Perko light as someone has already been suggested.
Unless there is a real reason to keep it, replacement is much quicker and probably not much more expensive.
You are pretty close to binnacle.com as well.

Scarce as hen's teeth. Hope the place in Seattle has one for you.

It is not a Perko, and I do want to have several globe (s) to be able to have them for the same fixtures I now have for the stern light and running light. This is spare fixture for now. Will give the Seattle store a try and thanks for the suggestion.

you might consider cutting your own from bottles or glasses that have dimensions that will work for you.

I have a few clear glass globes for Wilcox lights. PM me your mailing address, and I'll mail one to you. -- Bruce

Edited to add: Interestingly they were purchased not far from you at Church Point, Nova Scotia.
