Hi All,
First try at this web site so we will see how it goes.
Recently received from my father-in-law some lenses and complete globes (Texaco) I want to complete some of the lenses with the glass rim/ring/holder thingamabob. First what the heck do you call that thing, and does anyone have any to sell. I just want to finish what he had started.

What you need is a globe body. You can purchase it at "Time Passages." They are listed on this site.

Hi John,

There are a variety of globe "bodies" or "frames" as some call them. Certain lenses belong in certain bodies by design. An article about gas pump globe basics is called " A Touch of Glass " I recommend talking to a knowledgeable vendor about putting your lenses in a correct style reproduction body. See a list of vendors on our More Resources page. You can call Time Passages at 1-800-383-8888.
