Traveling in central Minnesota i stoped at a rummage sale.This was found in a building that was his Grandfathers Sinclair station that opened in 1919 and closed during the depression years. Bought the globe and an island cabinet

I bet that is a new discovery as far as globes go. Is it fired on or just painted on? Either way, KILLER!!!!!

It is baked ,the other side has a crack.Base is good,rich original finish but something went across the good side ,chiped the top and removed some of the finish. I've been told that there are only 10 or so keyhole globes known? I don't know ,have seen a picture of one Ford Benzol keyhole globe at the Henry Ford Museum.As far as my "found items" meter it is right up there with my Fyre Drop Globe and the B-17 belley turret that i found in the woods south of town here.
