Was looking at this pic & noticed the sinclair globe on the fry pump. is this an actual globe with the small HC in the middle of the bars or is that a decal? I'd just never seen that globe before. Not that that is unusual I have not seen lots of globes before...
Thanks.

It's in the globe book Scott and Wayne just released. There are 2 versions of it... there is one with a dash between the H-C and one without. Dated to 1926 era and one piece.
Great pic! Love seeing our globes in pics from back in the day!


Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

...sure looks like the Sinclair flange sign next to it says 'High Compression', - not 'Houston Compound'...


Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

Another globe that is on my wish list. I believe both versions of HC are correct. Started as Houston Compound and got switched by the marketers to High Compression.


Drive with Care and Buy Sinclair!! I buy Sinclair globes, signs, cans, ect.
