Thanks for the feedback on my question.
Someone is going to be mad when they find out the globe they bought is a reproduction. Last I checked, the bidding on the 15" globe was at $390. Greg

I cannot believe anyone would actually think this globe is real. Come on bidders....Colors are way off and Texaco never made this version on metal. Scott Benjamin eBay 251194877246 Item number:

My feeling is this, everyone of us should send the following question to the seller or any seller of a questionable item:
DO YOU GUARANTEE THAT THIS GLOBE/SIGN/WHATEVER IS AN ORIGINAL?
Then just set back and see if he answers.
BTY, I sent the question to the seller and I am not even a buyer.

Well, he did post some of the controversey in his comments section but left it out there that he thinks there is a possibility that its an original. Its up to $455 but nowhere near what the recent Texaco Marine fantasy globe brought!
