This month we'll feature globes from Tidewater,Flying A and their affiliates. This should give us over 90 choices.

We're looking for globes from:
Tidewater (Tydol, Tidex)
Associated (Flying A)
Seaside
Mohawk
Tidal
Northwestern Oil Company (from Wisconsin)

I don't have any globes from these companies so you guys are going to have to step up and post yours.

Dick,
Ad glass would be fine. It would be great if you could show the ad glass along with the globe it would have been used with.

I know its a busy time of year for everyone, but I hope you guys can find time to post a few globes. I know for sure that 3 oldgas members could post 15-20 globes from our featured companies between them. Lets get those globes posted. I'd hate to have to go buy globes just to post them here. (actually that would upset my wife, not me!)

Here's a couple of globes for this post. I had to include the National A38 in Flying "A" green porcelain with original add glass. The neon sign is original porcelain with neon added. I found it at Iowa last year.

Doc's rare "Flying A Associated Areo Type Gasoline" globe is from Associated Oil Company. They were from California. It dates from '32-'33.

The "Tydol" globe is from Tidewater Oil Company. NY,NY. This globe was used from 1925-'41.

John's "Tydol Ethyl" globe is from the late 40's. Note that this example is a regular 3 piece globe. This version is usually found on a gill body.

Thanks for posting these great globes!(the neon ain't bad either)

Thanks for sharing these great globes.

Anyone have some cast lens Tydol globes they can post? How about some "shoebox" globes?
Bob

Wow, My Sinclair hats off to Craig Landon for letting Dwaine take pictures... i see he has some very nice globes but notice he has spent some time to build a very nice display with glass to show them off. To see a collection like that and the pride that went in to the case. WOW Again great job goes out to Craig Landon!

I don't think I've ever seen a globe display that is as well thought out as Craig Landon's. Some of those globes are quite rare. Others are very common. Put them all together in a great display area and its an awesome sight!

Lots of guys collect only one brand (Dwaine); some guys collect globes from their state (Les); some guys collect just one type of globe, one piece, metal bodied, glass, plastic, odd shaped,etc. Some guys like them all (me).

It doesn't matter if you don't like Tydol/Flying A globes, or even if you don't like globes at all, you gotta admit Craig has put together a great display of globes!

If you have ANY globes from our featured companies that haven't been posted, don't hesitate to post them. Common or rare, we want to see them all! Thanks to all those that have shared their globes so far.
Bob

The first picture that Hubba posted for Tim is a lens for a shoebox globe. This one dates from the 49-56 era.

Looks like another Associated Flying A Aero Type globe. I thought those were supposed to be hard to find. We've got 4 of the posted right here! Nice globes and ad glass. Thanks for sharing.

Tim,
The ad glass with the different wings looks like it might match the Arotane globe. Look at the "T" on Craig's Arotane globe. It looks like the top of the T turns into a wing. Just guessing. Does anyone know for sure?

Sat, Morning Bob. the A used in the late shoe box was the last A they used , there was a big thing about that A, a large porcelain sign came on ebay sometime back and a lot of guys didn't know about it (me) and others , its the same A, Gene Autry used for his flying A ranch, he used that logo from late 30ties had it on everything , but come to find out, Getty oil was in the process of changeing the logo to the one you see in that globe, this sign came from Idaho, and the only ones that new about it was from the Wash, Or ,Id, and Mont, areas , but my friend Sweetwaterjr, who we all love got it ,and the color is black with red on the sides.
now on the globe, all the letters slope to the right showing its going fast, that above the T is the wind from the A ,

We've shown most of the globes from our featured companies thanks in large part to Craig and Larry.........but there are more.

We've seen Dwaine's Seaside globes before, but there are more from that company. There are more shoebox globes too. Mohawk Ethyl, Mohawk with the orange globe face instead of red.Then there's Tidal and Northwestern. There's another affiliate too. Pathfider Petroleum. The globe book says there are no known globes from that company but who knows that for sure?

Keep those great globes coming!
Bob
