Ok fellas educate me real quick, I googled it but with no luck. A lady has offered me one globe she has 3 of them she said and over the phone she said they say ROYAL on them. I cannot find one on the web. I have never bought a globe before this will be my first one if it is original what do I look for and what is it worth?....thanks guys!

conoco i think

I just tried a search on that also and nothing....hmm....and what size are original globes? and are the surrounds originally glass?

13.5 im pretty sure and i believe capco but I could be wrong!

I own this same globe... again. LOL

National refining out of Cleveland Ohio. Most lenses were on glass bodies, so there may be a wide range in the price. Richard

Thanks guys, I appreciate all this info! she wants 700.00 for it does that sound about right?

If its the globe that is in the link above then that is to high.

The book shows $250-375. Richard

Ok I will have to chalk this one up as lesson learned I paid more than that for it tonight, but I did manage to talk her down.

Where can I get the book so I dont make the same mistake twice?

The "Book" prices are 15 - 18 years old. Best to check with Scott at www.gasglobes.com for current prices.

Hey Ron - I've got the books and you've got my cell number so I can check any prices you need in them. Like Scott says the prices are a bit outdated but overall still a pretty good ballpark and excellent books. Amazon usually has them for $30 or so each.

Ok thanks maybe I dont feel so sick to my stomache now...LOL!!




Thanks Eric! I may be BUGgin the ***** outta ya if I find anymore.



I will post a picture of it today and show you guys.
