Saw this pic on ebay. The attendant is of course branded in Amoco, but I've gone through the CD and can find no such Amoco globe. Is this some new globe find or possibly a multi branded station?
Anyone recognize this globe?

looks like the 'N' of American at the 3 oclock position on the globe... which would make sense, since thats what Amoco stood for... but I also do not see it in the globe book

This photo is from the Library of Congress. The photo on the LOC site has a little more of the image showing. Makes it a little easier to see it's a decal applied to the lens. http://www.loc.gov/pictures/resource/fsa.8d23333/

Thanks for the info guys. I knew there had to be some explanation.
So I assume they used stickers sometimes to update product lines instead of making an entirely new or different lens.
