Globe number two this week is an early one piece, Marathon Hi Test. This globe is interesting because all Marathon Indian globes are baked, this one was etched, and as far as I know, its still the only one known. ------------------ Good Luck on the HuntLance / The Pogo Man

I have a few questions about this brand...
In era 1926 or there abouts;
1st - can someone tell me if they would have had 2 grades of gas or 3 grades at a station?
2nd - what lens's would have been on each grade of gas and how would the pumps have been painted?
3rd - what color would the stations have been painted?
The reason I am asking this is because I am getting ready to start building a new garage and will be making it look exactly like a 1926 gas station with a right side bay for model t service - and would like it to look as close to "real / original" on the outside as I can - the total design standpoint from the roof to the driveway nothing would be there that would not have been there in 1926... "execpt for the hidden cctv cams that will be there to protect my investment from the crooks"...
If I can get a good idea of this brand it will be a toss up between red indian and red crown.

Travis Hopefully someone here has answers to your questions, if not I'll be posting pictures of original stations later in this feature, so that should help. Todays globe is the "Marathon Blue" This is a great globe, the centrpiece of any Red Indian collection. This particular one came out of a wharehouse at an abandoned coal mine just north of Timmins Ontario (Home of Shania Twain) and was NOS. These also came as one piece baked globes, and of course when found, they are generally weathered and illegible.

Here is another great globe, Cyclo Ethyl. This globe would have been used beside the Marathon Blue on twins. ------------------ Good Luck on the HuntLance / The Pogo Man

Here is the one we all know, the stylized Indian head. This one was used in conjunction with Texaco Sky Chief globes during the years of transition to Texaco. ------------------ Good Luck on the HuntLance / The Pogo Man

Hey guys, I'm a little behind. Something has come up and I have to make a big time road trip to North Carolina, Ohio, West Virginia & Michigan then back home to the West Coast. The good news is I get to meet a bunch of oldgassers who've helped me put this deal together, the bad news is I have to post most of the things I had for COTM before I go. I will be back next friday, so I'll finish the feature with original station photos. And in the mean time, if anyone has pictures they need posted, send them to me and I'll do it as soon as I get home.

THis is a real nice piece, and hard to find. Most if not all oil bottle racks are set up for 16 bottles. At $200+ per bottle plus the rack, dats a lot of chedda yo! ------------------ Good Luck on the HuntLance / The Pogo Man

Here are a few more paper items, I think I'll save the rest of the stuff for when I get back, if I run into August a little I'm sure there won't be a problem This is a wartime edition of Harvest Gold, these were used during the Texaco transition, the covers said Red Indian, but inside everything was Texaco. Playing cards are always popular, these typically showed lithos of stations, and most came as double decks. Red Indian ad's came in dowzens of full color and monotone layouts. The artwork was always excellent, and they look terrific framed. ------------------ Good Luck on the HuntLance / The Pogo Man

Here are a couple rare ones. These plaster heads are awesome, this is the one piece I wish I had, I'd build a whole station around it. They came in a couple variations, and are extremely rare. ------------------ Good Luck on the HuntLance / The Pogo Man
