I have a Bowser 565 and need some advice about ad glass and signage. I am doing it up as a Sinclair pump. It is a 1938. What would be the correct globe for that pump of that year? I would like to use the Sinclair "HC" globe if they were used in 1938. How about the ad glass, what would be the right image? Dino? One ad glass is a size 10 but I cannot find any glass for the smaller one, 5 x 7 1/4.

Same question for a 12" sign, what would be the right image?

Thanks and Merry Christmas everyone!

Jim

H-C is fine. I would use H-C ad glass as well. Sinclair did not use pump plates back then. They did not use pump plates until Dino and Dino Supreme came out in like 1959. You will need to use an H-C sticker or water transfer decal.

Don't use a capco globe either. Make sure it is a 3 piece glass or earlier.
