Hello All,
Is eBay item number 360452642259 an unmarked set of reproduction lenses? I don't think that the originals had a blue outline ring around the parameter? The seller has a few original globes, but I think the Sunoco is also a repro as Sunoco only used 15" lenses.....Thoughts on the Marathon?
Thanks,
Darin

I was curious about that as well when I read the info about them. I was not sure about "without the runner" version. All the ones that I had seen before were with the runner and no blue outline. They did have some "MARATHON" and "ETHYL" that I knew of that had a red outline ring. However, I do not have the globe book to know all the versions that are out there.

I see the globe has a bid now, so evidently someone out there thinks it's real. There is no mention of this version in the globe books, so I would be very cautious not be able to do an in hand inspection. A look at the back of the lenses could help a lot. I'm not a bidder but I'm still curious about its authenticity.
