Hello guys and gals, I bought several globes at auction yesterday NOT 1 mile from my house! Guy was a standard oil jobber!!! Well 1 is 15 inch red crown in metal body! The lenses look near mint and I was wondering if they are original or reproduction? There is a 6 O'clock notch BUT no makers marks at all??? I ONLY paid 200 for it so it's OK if it's not real BUT if it is I hit a homerun!!! I also bought the 16 1/2 inch globe that I know is real... Thanks in advance for your help! I usually dont buy globes BUT these are mostly all near mint!
