I was told this company brand "Cleveland" was the brand SOHIO used in England.
Anyone have any knowledge of that or familiar with this brand? Globe is all glass.
I hate to buy it not knowing anything at all about it.
Thanks

"In 1928 Harry Ricardo, National Distillers Co. and Shell Oil introduce an alcohol fuel blend in the United Kingdom called "Cleveland Discol." The ethanol blend is a popular unleaded gasoline brand and is sold through 1968.
