These cool Payless globes were used from 1960-65.


Thanks to Lonnie and Aaron Hop for the pictures of their globes.

Rex sent me this picture of his Aetna Moto-Zip lenses. I believe these are from the 1940's.



Thanks Rex!

Aaron Hop sent me this picture. This Valvoline Go Mix Outboard Fuel globe was used throughout most of the 1960's.



Thanks to Aaron and Lonnie for sharing pictures of their globes!

If you have pictures of any globes from these companies how about emailing them to me? We've had a pretty good response but there are sooooo many more globes from our featured companies.
If you're worried about security I can post your pictures and not say who owns them.
Thanks to all those who have shared their globes with us.

Thanks for the peek!

Here are two more Tresler globes from Rex Benson's collection.
The Silver Comet is from the 1955-64 era.
The Comet Diesel dates from '46-'55 and is the only known example on a glass body.



Thanks Rex!

Does anyone have pictures of an Ashland or Aetna A Plus globe they can email me? How about a Frontier Double Refined or a Valvoline globe? We haven't seen any Freedom or IQS globes yet. Anyone have any pictures of those?

I'll be happy to post your pictures.
