Would like to know the estimated value of these globe lenses and the holder. Zephyr (Naph-Sol Refinery) was a regional marketer based out of Muskegon Michigan. The lense holder is milk glass with no dates or manufacturer's name on it. Any help would be appreciated.

The milk glass lens holder is worth about $150 on its own. Scott Benjamins recent CD with pictures and globe values, lists the complete globe value from $350 to $500. That means each lens is worth from $100 to $175, and of course, all this depends upon condition!
If you're going to be buying or collecting any globes at all, I recommend buying the CD. Its a very useful tool!

Ethyl versions [w/ ethyl logo] Usually do sell for more than Regular, so that is not a good comparison.

DB is right, but on the CD the globe price difference is only $100 between the regular and the ethyl... And the globe prices are going up up and up.

People always seem to remember the items that bring the big bucks. Anyone who paid over $1000 for the Ethyl version of this globe paid way too much. Though scarce, I'll stick to my $100 difference in price. I had one of these on my site a while back and I could barely get $375 for it. Nice globe but no graphics. Scott B.
