Did Texaco make the Texaco Ethyl globe in a 15" lense? I have Scott's 2012 globe book and don't see a 15" lense listed - only a 13.5" lense.
There is a 15" Texaco Ethyl globe on Ebay. Thinking I might bid if this isn't a reproduction. Take a look and let me know? Thx! Greg

PHONEY,BUT IT HAS ORIGINAL SNAP RINGS.
They made a 15" Texaco Ethyl on metal, but not with a red background...it should be white.
Ditto, white background only. Check out the repo section of pcm website, it goes over his perticular globe.
With the link he posted for Antique Trader, seller is Going to STICK IT TO A NEWBY/UNEDUCATED!
Even Warmans Gas Station Collectbles book has this globe on the front cover.
Just go's to show you, can't believe every thing in the books either !

How old's that book ?
Thanks

I guess Texaco did make a globe like this, but it was a single one piece globe. And dated at the bottom 31, Extremely rare
According to Scott Benjamin's web sight.
Yep, around $10,000.00 give or take. ; )
...there's an original 13.5" 3pc globe in this design, right?
So is the synopsis then that the original posting is of a real body with fake lenses?
Heres a real 13 1/2 version!
Kevin,Nice Globe.I Would Kill To Have That.
You don't have to kill to get one. globesandsigns.com has a single on a nice body for sale!
Thanks for the feedback on my question.
Someone is going to be mad when they find out the globe they bought is a reproduction. Last I checked, the bidding on the 15" globe was at $390. Greg
I cannot believe anyone would actually think this globe is real. Come on bidders....Colors are way off and Texaco never made this version on metal. Scott Benjamin
eBay 251194877246 Item number:
My feeling is this, everyone of us should send the following question to the seller or any seller of a questionable item:
DO YOU GUARANTEE THAT THIS GLOBE/SIGN/WHATEVER IS AN ORIGINAL?
Then just set back and see if he answers.
BTY, I sent the question to the seller and I am not even a buyer.

I just sent him my facts on the globe. We'll see what happens...
Well, he did post some of the controversey in his comments section but left it out there that he thinks there is a possibility that its an original. Its up to $455 but nowhere near what the recent Texaco Marine fantasy globe brought!
Checked your ebay site out. Already sold! still looking.
Thanks
Anyone have any leads where I can get 15" Texaco Ethyl glass globe?
Red in background?
Don't know. Maybe he took them off after he sold?
Randy, your link is to an auction, 2 yrs old...
Bob,
I noticed that, 2 yrs ago tomorrow..
