So i am very curious about these grades of fuel. In my collection i have some mobilfuel items. I have two plates and one diesel special plate. I have one diesel globe as well. My question is "Did they make a Mobilfuel Diesel Special Globe?". If so has anyone seen one or have one? I know these plates are very difficult to find so i expect the globe to be more scarce if ever made. I see a listing in the Mobil collectors book but no photos.
Also i have looked and looked for a Mobilfuel Diesel Medium plate as well. They made three grades but have never seen this plate (kind of think there may not be a plate) could have been just a decal to go on a normal plate.
So any info would be great!

This is the style and era, so it would be pre- 1962.

In reviewing hundreds of collections to compile the various Gas Pump Globe Books, as far back as 1990 (books 1994/1999 set/2012 ebook), there has never been a Mobilfuel Diesel Special globe surface. In constructing the last revision of the book, the 2012 ebook,over 50,000 photos were reviewed. Through all that, we've never seen one. All that means, though, is that it hasn't surfaced yet. We "discover" an average of three new globe designs a week. So maybe tomorrow.
