I'm in need of a repop Harley Davidson Oils globe for a customer of mine. Anyone have anything for sale? He wants the "oils" version.
Kevin:
No such thing.
Only the two versions of 13.5" H-D Motor Cycle lenses that show up on e-bay all the time.
Jim
HHhhmmm? Ok thanks Jim. I'll have to look that up and let him know.
I agree with Jim,and who should know better. The repo bar and sheild globes look like the orange oil cans if my memory is working correct. Maybe what he is refering to.
Could be, as I'm not familiar with them. I guess I need a couple pictures of the 2 different types for him and there aren't any on ebay right now. Anyone have a couple pics they could email to me?
Got the picture of this one from an Old Gas member. If theres just 2 designs, I need a picture of the other one.
I have one colors are flipped -white lens black bar & sheild lined in orange and black border motorcycle orange,harley davidson white. no outer border on lens. Story is guy made 50 sets before harley shut him down because he included the trademark. True or not,who knows.
Sorry son has my camera.
Here's the other version.
Here's a different version I came across. And for some reason I recall seeing others with more writing. Kevin do you have an example of what you are trying to accomplish? Or is he hoping for something like the sign I've attached.
I'm just not sure as I'm totally unfamiliar with these globes. From the pictures sent, it seems like I've seen another version? Maybe just a shield on it?? I don't know, but if these are the only 2 versions ever made, I'm going to relay the info to him.
He did say Harley Davidson Motor Oils, so I'm assuming that he was looking for something like the posted sign??
Flip the colors on the sheild of the one Dave posted and you have the one I have. bar is the same.
Kevin do you have any vynal sign guys/gals in area? If you find a design you like you could have them make a mask for you and then paint it on a with an airbrush.
Bobs third pic is like mine. The last pic Bob posted is very much like the oil can logo. Don't know that I ever seen that one.
I can see that the last one is a decal on a bare globe body.
The 'Eagle' one was a Limited Edition globe done with a ceramic decal fired onto a milkglass body. As far as I know they are not still available for sale - only as resale items from somebodies collection. Petroleum Artifacts did them if I am not mistaken.
The two 'Bar and Shield' globes are almost always on e-Bay somewhere. They were never authorized by HD - but that didn't stop someone from making them.
The 'flame' version and the other nice looking one are/were/ only available through an authorized HD outlet selling HD 'collectables' and came on the 'plastic/fiberglass' tall Tok 39 display cabinet 'pumps'. You COULD NOT buy them outright - only with the entire fake pump.
The last version is a decal on a new milkglass body.
Later . . .
Jim
BTW - the 'White' version actually states at the bottom that the art was taken off of a plastic shopping bag from a dealership!
