Just discovered these DB lenses out of old gas station in Rhode Island, trying to find info on what DB stands for and value. Any help would be most appreciated.

Beautiful lense. The layout of DB is close to dodge brothers but is not exact and they wouldn't be gas related anyway. But it's a cool lense.

Looked in the Guide To Gas Pump Globes 2012 CD , could not find it

" Could be a new discovery " Maybe in the second Globe CD I don't have that one .

Based on the graphics, I would say $500-800 retail for the pair unless you found someone who had some special attachment to them
