Too bad the blue capco spent so many years in the sun. Its really deteriorated.

These Jo-Re-Co lenses were originally in an old style capco body. That would date the globe from 1932 or '33. When the globe book was written only glass bodied versions of this globe were known. At this point this is the only known example on capco. I put the lenses on this original orange ripple gill body. Its probably my best globe. Thanks to John Jarvis for the lead on this globe.
Don't ask. It isn't for sale! LOL

Ryan's was affiliated with Hoosier Pete, which was bought out by Gaseteria, which was in turn bought by Standard of N.J.

Lastgas ,is that a Repro ripple , or origanal ether way it looks awsome.

sorry Bob ,my computer was not all the way up when I asked the ripple question , when I came back to look at it ,I then seen were you had said it was original, this computer at work loads to slow. Geat looking globe though.

Here are two nice Esso globes. Note the Esso dealer light. The Esso is etched into the light. This is the only one that we have seen to date?


Here are two beautiful globes. The Flashlike is from Humble and, of course, the other one is Standard. I prefer the low profile globe bodies. Rex.

"Esso", 33 or 34-72;
"Essolene", 33-39;both obviously from Standard N.J.

I've never seen an Esso light globe like that. It's pretty cool. Anyone have any info on it?

The Humble "Flashlike Ethyl" dates from the late 20's to the early 30's. It has alot going for it. The Ethyl burst, speed lines, and lightning bolt. What a great globe!

The "Standard" was used in the '24-'33 era. Standard of N.J. used this bar and circle logo on several versions of their globes.

Thanks for sharing these great globes Rex.
Who else has some Esso and affiliates globes they can share?
Bob
