Thought this was an awesome globe. What's the contraption that it's sitting on, some kind of fancy lubester? And was this the only way this globe was used?

I think I'm digging the Pennzoil calendar about as much as the globe....looks like a pilot and an airplane. (at least I believe it's a calendar!)

Not calendars, I have about 75 of the posters and a bunch of the advertising strips for the bottom, they were changeable, lots of great artwork!

The glove is a Bowser globe, they did sell globes, I have a flyer on one of them. If you look at the picture on this page of my website you will see the globe on top of the Oil Fountain, in this ad.

http://petrolianacollectibles.com/bowser%20oil%20fountain.htm

Probably not many of them still around.

I don't have a model number for the Oil Fountain. This is the second version, it dispensed eight different grades of oil, the first version dispensed four.
