Hi Buddy;
NICE find on the garage sale Mobils and Sinclair Oils. I never seem to stop at those kind of garage sales! Yes the Conoco that you bought at the Antique Mall was mine. If you get this way let me know, would be glad to have you stop by.
If you have ANY 2011 globe buys post them now, a new Globe of the Month starts in the next few days.
Thanks for posting!

Actually the globes and pumps weren't for sale at the garage sale, but I saw one of the pumps, out back by a barn, and ask if it was for sale, or if the guy had anything else- and as they say-"The Rest is History". I'm going back in a couple of weeks, as he had a Tokheim visable, three glass cylinders, and some pump signs that he said he might part with, in the spring. By the way, the gentleman is about 80 years old.

I have acquired precious little new petrolianapieces in the past few years, but I traded for this one last fall. I LOVE weird/unusual/obscure stuff. Anybody got any info on it? The guy I got it from felt like it was a new discovery....?

Gas Town was a Cleveland area based independent that was purchased by the Emro Marketing (Speedway) division of Marathon and eventually rebranded to Speedway in the 1990s. This globe was photographed at Dixie Gas and added to our archives as a new discovery. Look for this globe and over 5000 more in the new e-Book version of "Gas Pump Globes", by Henderson and Benjamin, due out this summer/fall.
