I always wanted one of these Cities globes with the "CREW-LEVICK" designation and was lucky enough to snag this one from Scott Benjamin. He told me that they are usually a cast lens and he has only ever seen 2 of these globes with the all glass lenses! Its in super shape too with absolutely no chips or scratches! My Cities Service globe collection keeps growing but its a long road to collecting all of them! I doubt if I'll ever make it but it will be fun trying! Enjoy!!

After searching for one of these signs for a while- I finally found a decent one- Traded a pump for this sign with a local fellow old gas member- It's not Perfect- but it's the best one I have found in the area so far and I like it! Enjoy!

Happy hunting everyone!!!
