The Globe Of The Month for April is any globe that isn't round. That means Standard Crowns, Shell Clams, Cities Service Clovers, Phillips Shields, ovals, or whatever oddball shaped globe you happen to have. I sat down at my computer at 10:30PM to post some pics and promptly fell asleep. Its now 1:00AM so the pics are going to have to wait. Bob

Super globe John! Phillips used this globe from 1953 until 1959 when they quit using globes. Bob

Here's one from my collection. It's from Standard Oil Conpany (Ind). Solite one piece raised letter crowns were used from 1926-32. This one is missing the dark blue paint. Most everyone thinks these globes were just blue and white. There are at least two original raised letter red and white Solite globes. I passed on one because I thought it was a fake or had been repainted. I later found out from a much more knowledgeable collector that there were red solite globes. They were probably mistakenly painted red. Bob [This message has been edited by Lastgas15 (edited 04-15-2003).] [This message has been edited by Lastgas15 (edited 04-16-2003).]

Pumpman, Any crown with a 6 inch base is a repro. Now some are being repopped with a 7 inch base. Be careful out there! Bob

Here are a few ovals. The North Star is from Oskey Brothers Petrolium headquartered in St. Paul,MN. It dates from 1965-80. The Platolene 500 globe is from R.J. Oil of Terre Haute,IN. Its from the 60's. The Hicksatomic globe is from Hicks Gas and Oil. The globe book says this globe was used from 1964-70, but I remember some stations using these globes well into the 1980's. Anyone have a Shell or Super Shell they can post? How about some Cities Service clovers? More ovals? What about the various Standard Crowns? There are alot of odd shaped globes out there. Lets see some posted here! Bob

Thanks for posting that Dwaine.I'll get with the times eventually.I think Paraland was purchased by or merged with Phillips.

Cool globe Bobby. I really like those ovals. You're right. Phillips bought Paraland. There is another version of Paraland's oval globe that has a thin black line on the top and bottom of the white band across the center. Both versions were used from the mid 50's through 1970. Thanks for posting this globe. Bob
