There is one easy way to figure out an age appropriate globe for any gas pump:
Step 1). Figure out when your pump was manufactured in the Gas Pump Bible (I’m not home right now, or I’d look it up for you). Let’s assume it’s 1925. Then you have to figure these pumps were probably used for several years at the gas station, and even longer at rural ones. So let’s just assume this pump could’ve been in service for 10 years. 1925-35
Step 2). Look up brands of gas or globes you like on the Globe CD. The globe CD gives company histories on most every company that ever existed and the years that each globe was used. The globe CD has such useful information and I highly recommend it. It is also fun just to read the company histories.
I am not affiliated with the sales of the Globe CD, I just highly recommend it and the wealth of info it provides. (Same with the gas pump bible)
If you decide on a brand of gas and globe, post it here and many of us will be able to tell you if it’s age appropriate.

…and yes, a 15” globe for a G&B 176
PetroNuts.com should have a 15” steel repop body for you.
