Sinclair only marketed Aircraft,its higher grade Benzol gas, in the late 20s, early 30s.The first repro globes were marketed in the early to mid 70s, and by that time, almost all oil companies had discontinued using globes, with a few exceptions like Imperial and Dixie. I would suggest researching oil company logos, and when they were in use. That will help you a lot in determining fakes.

Good oil cans don't wait for people, people wait for them.

35 Euro's is $43.00 US. Even for a repro, you got a good deal. They are $109.00 US on e-Bay for a current reproduction.
