If I am not mistaken the Station was in the Green Bay, WI area; and that is an Independent Oil Men's sign to the left... Here is a different Barkhausen Oil Company Station that was in Green Bay...

Yes, Guys, as Bob indicates......Green Bay, Wisconsin. I have a neat little one-pound grease pail from Barkhausen Oil, indicating the home office was located in Green Bay. John

I've seen these Wadhams globes with shades on several station photos.
Concave painted tin inserts.

So might those appendages on the globe be lights to shine on the lenses? And what do you think the doohickey on the top is? A speaker? It's a weird angle for a light...

Don't know where doohickey came from--must be channeling my grandpa! : ) : o : )

...I've got a photo of a similar globe...I believe the lenses were indeed concave, and the lights shone down to illuminate them...
Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

I was cleaning these and saw this thread, these have some of the features as the one in the photo. The blue seal is one piece of stamped metal and the printed area is concave. The 2¢ is much like the one in the photo but has the light shades located on the bottom. I wonder if the supplier gave the option of shade locations?

The shades on the 2 cents globe, look like they were used to illuminate the area, rather than the globe. Thanks for posting these pictures, very interesting!

I think the 2¢ globe was primary used for visible pimps.
