Is a glass gas insert for a glass 13 inch globe with the R circle trademark mean it's a reproduction? It looks vintage. I just don't know if it is real or a reproduction when I see the trademark R.

Btw I know the R mark stands for registered. I just don't know if the R is on vintage gas inserts ever.

Yes it is on some inserts. A picture of the front and back would help.

Lenses that have the circle R trademark logo that come to my mind immediately are the later Sinclairs with the Dino logo. Like Kevin said, a picture of the item in question is about the only way we can give you an educated opinion of what you are looking at.

A good question is why they did not have the circled 'R' or previous to that, 'Trade Mark Registered' or 'Trade Mark Reg.' Other companies religiously marked their signs, etc. once the mark was registered. Maybe because the globe served one specific purpose and was never put out in 'public', just displayed on pumps at the particular brands' outlets?
