Rare Hi-Speed Blue Flash Gas Globe!!! I was able to get this globe from a friend and as a Hi Speed collector I was very excited. When Hi Speed took over Pocahontas Oil Company of Cleveland, Ohio, who came up with the "Blue Flash" slogan, Hi Speed kept this going for a very short time. Only one of two known...Thanks Randy, Scott

Wow, I was just looking at this pretty piece admiring it and noticed it has 5 notches in the lens so it will work on the rare ball-crank body.......Interesting...

Yes inserts still caulked in but it has five notches so works on a Balcrank or regular glass. Also on a strange frame with holes at 3, 6 and 9! Go figure that one out??? Scott B.
