Picked this up and have no idea on it. I've seen a different version of a hi-way globe but not this one. Would this be the same company? I believe it was republic Oil co. Just looking for info. Are these lenses supposed to be on a glass body?

Any info would be great thanks...

It appears the notches look pretty deep as they are easily visible outside the edge of the original Capco body, also the white is thin enough that it appears they should go on a glass body.
I was told on lenses with a lot of white background being produced for glass bodies they would sometimes produce them light as the body creates the white color needed, so no need to frit it heavy.

That's a 1950's Republic globe. Lenses belong on a glass body.
