Wishing to know if any of these slides are rare in nature. I see them sell normally for $15 each and $30 a pair. ASLO CURIOUS ON HOW RARE/ODDBALL the slides that are 3-D plastic. All slides are plastic except for the glass pairs of Mobil.

PEP, REGULAR, MARATHON ( Plastic 25" )

OCTRON, REGULAR, STAR SERVICE, UNLEADED REGULAR ( Plastic 29 1/4" )

SUPER CETRON, REGULAR UNLEADED, REGULAR, PEP ( Plastic 24 1/2" )

MOBIL ( Glass Lens Inserts 25" )

SONIC ( 3D Plastic Inserts 22 5/8" )
REGULAR ( 3D Plastic Inserts 24 1/2" )
E-Z GO ( 3D Plastic Inserts Pair 26" )

No value on the 3-D plastic ? Back to storage they go.

Randy, it is my opinion, that Ad glass interest overall in the Hobby, doesn't seem to have "reached" the plastic inserts as of yet...

But, one never knows what the future will bring? A few years ago, there was next to no interest by most in the Hobby, towards plastic/lexan Oil Company signage...

Now, there are more and more Hobbyists that are interested and Collecting these signs... I am of the opinion that in a couple of years, there will be more interest in such plastic/lexan ad glass and the pumps the "glass" fits in...

I have a lexan Flying A ad glass in my Trimline... Not, sure how rare this "glass" is... But, I've seen less than a handful of them come up for sale...

I've had people tell me the pumps from the 1960's and 70's are a hot ticket as they look good next to the muscle cars of the era. If I see a pump for sale and is decent I usually drag it home. Bought one for a dollar at auction that was probably headed to scrap a few years ago.

Thanks for the info Bob Richards.
