Another OLD Abe Question

In front of the Eagleton Town Hall (near Jim Falls, WI just down the road from the McCann farm)there is a statue of Old Abe on the globe as we are all familiar with. I was told that this was from an old Case dealership. The letters CASE are not on the globe. Was CASE part of the casting or was it just painted on the globe?
 
Tractorkrum,
I used to haul powered milk out of Jim Falls, Ws. that was over 20 years ago.
Is that place still in business? There was a resturant across the road from the business, and they had a lot of menorabila on the walls, it was a good place to eat.
 
Yes, the eagle is still there (it was yesterday). Last year, they remodeled the hall and it looks like they did a repaint job as it is nice and bright. I did not stop and look at the casting as I was on a mission and did not have time. I'm only about 15 miles away and go by often, so I will be stopping in for a better look. As for the dairy, that is still going strong and I'm not sure if you meant the bar/restraint across the street from the Falls Dairy in Jim Falls or the tavern across the street from the town hall in Eagleton, but they are both fun places to stop.
