Hi Guys, Thanks for adding me to the site. I am new into gas pumps but old into building hot rods. I picked up a beautiful Bennett Porcelain 766 gas pump. It is originally Marathon Mile Maker and I am looking for an original Globe. If any one has one please let me know. Thanks in advance Jimmy

Those globes come up pretty often on ebay, put it in your favorite searches and keep checking it. Not a hard globe to find at all.

If you have a 766 it would take one of the 50s style Mile Maker globes, possibly you are looking at the older style globes. I don't believe they are reproducing the 50s style. I once found 35 Marathon globes in a building in Ohio, most were the Mile Maker. Incidentally, Mile Maker was Marathon's regular gas, Super-M was their premium.

Which Marathon globe are you referring to....the Block M logo globe that says Mile Maker are usually all originals..haven't seen them repopped on any large scale. And they are easily obtained.
If the globe has the Running Man logo and says Mile Maker...that is an expensive globe...a little more hard to obtain..but certainly can be found.
If you're wanting the running man logo globe, I would put a repop on it until you find an original. I've never wanted to spend the coin for one so all my pumps have repop running man globes.
Good luck.
