We picked up two torch globes at an auction that we were told came from a Shell gas station. One of them is larger than the other and one is red and the other is amber. I have searched the internet and have had no luck identifying them. i ran across this website and was hoping someone could help me with some information. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Definitely, not a gas and oil item. Hope you didn't pay much for it.

Never say "Definitely" say "In my opinion..."
The only company I know of that used a torch was Standard Oil. You should have put the red one next to the amber one. Are they the same? Possibly something that was made for a promotion, or possibly not a gas and oil item.

To me, it looks like an Ice Cream Cone.... Possibly made for an early Ice Cream Parlor or ?
