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!

National refining out of Cleveland Ohio. Most lenses were on glass bodies, so there may be a wide range in the price. 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 Like Scott says the prices are a bit outdated but overall still a pretty good ballpark and excellent books.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.
Looking for Tulsa Oil Globes, any Tulsa-based cans, Troco anything, Bosch signs and clocks, original VW dealership stuff and original white capcos!
