Thats some tough stuff to find! There was a lot of competition for the 20+ Pierce cans that were on ebay recently. I bid on several but only came away with one. My success rate is usually pretty good but not that day!
Pierce globes are all rare. I have two that are each the only example known. Well there is a repop lens that matches one of my globes. I should have bought it so it doesn't get passed off as an original sometime.
The china from the Pierce Hotels is probably the easiest Pierce stuff to find.
Good luck and I hope the old station can be preserved.

Hey Bob I got that other lense for the anti-knock globe you bought from Greg so dont worry,its just stickers anyway,I just liked it after he sold the globe.I bid on gregs cans too.Greg seems to have alot of info but I want some pictures.I got the square globe and the 15in globe from him.Tried to get the etched but ran out of money.I just have recently started to want this pierce stuff and it is hard to find,anything.See you in January,Happy Holidays.I would be interested in that sign,have any pictures of it?Bob do you have a picture of the other globe by pierce?or kind?

Steve, Around Springfield swap meet time John (2nd chance store) had a curb sign holder and base that was Pierce.

Bob the easiest piece is the thimble.

That guy who was selling the Pierce stuff had a lot of cans and signs for sure.

Good luck and I will keep my eyes open

The gu with all the pierce cans was Greg Gazak from St Clair MO.He is sellig all his gas stuff and was very knowledgable about this company.I need to get with him to see if he has any pictures I can get a copy of.His whole garage was full at one time.I got a couple of the globes but that was it.I went to Johns a couple of weeks ago and didnt see the sign stand.John Ohern bought the best sign he had and it was awsome in color,I eyeballed it all the way home from Grags.Thanks Scott
