Could be 15" metal bodies or 1 pc. with etched letters SHELL or SUPER SHELL w/ shell shape etched on . HOPEFULLY EITHER & CHEAP.
Globe book DOES NOT show ANY on glass or plastic bodies.
GOOD LUCK

They were making repos in the early 1970's and probably earlier.

...sounds like they might be Silver Shell globes - they had no recessed area where the 'SHELL' lettering is on regular Shell globes, they were just the clam shell form...
...I always thought they were pretty cool - the advertising icon by itself, without lettering...kinda like a White Eagle globe...
...seems like I've seen them for $650 or so, in perfect shape...I don't think they have ever been reproduced...good luck!
