Rex:

Phenomenonal collection of 'Ethyl' globes! You have some manufactures/brands that I have never heard of. I'm sure glad that ethyl is the theme for the month as I really like the ethyl logo.

Could you (or someone else on-line here) please give a short description of the globes in your collection. You know; usage dates, manufactures, locations used in the U.S./Canada, etc. I'm especially interested in the 'Red Pepper' globe. I've never seen that one before. I'm sure I could do a kewl southwestern themed pump with that globe as a starting point.

Thanks to everyone for posting their treasures!

Jim
