I could use one of these generic "gasoline" globes to complete my Bowser Red Sentry.
It need not be mint, some fading or paint loss is acceptable as well as a few neck chips. But no cracks or glued-back-together globes, please.
These are about 11 1/2" in diameter and are cast, one-piece milk glass.
Thanks.

Still looking for "Gasoline" one piece.



Imagine how sad it is that I have to look at that pitiful round light fixture globe every morning.

Okay, after much cutting and threading and wrestling, I have the canopy poll cut down as far as it can reasonably go.
This I have learned:
The small "Gasoline" globe with the small dimension neck will not work. And the larger 16 inch "Sinclair Oils" one-piece or any of the tall 16 inch Standard Oil affiliates metal bands will be too tall like Socony, Mobil, Red Crown, etc.
So an interesting 15 inch metal band or one-piece might be in order.
If you're willing to try again, I am willing to take a look at what you have.

The smaller necked "Gasolene" or "Gasoline" globes were used on curbside pumps.

Thanks for all the responses and suggestions. I did finally locate and buy a larger "Gasoline" one-piece that should work out nicely.
Have fun collecting!
