I'm going to look at them tomorrow. One complete globe and one set of lens. I have not seen them yet. Which are most desirable?

The one with the railroad tankcar on it is the most valuable.

The Martin Purple Ethyl is my favorite. Matt, Its my favorite too! I've got a friend with a pump that still has the original Purple Martin paint and signs. Dave, I emailed you pictures of several Martin globes and an estimate of their value. Good luck and let us know how you did. Bob

Is the ebay set from the same "find"? Seems that way to me.
I offer quart can re-lidding, can rolling, lid stamping, and dent removal.

Same estate - He got that one before I got the others. The ones I got are for sale. I will list them in the for sale area with free delivery to Evansville, Iola, or Hershey.
