Veteran Member Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 5,348 Likes: 1 Raleigh, North Carolina ...um, have you looked to see if it's green porcelain underneath the red paint?...even if it isn't, I'd remove the pump signs...they're not particularly interesting, and not original to the pump... Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

The top has a square about 4inch long that comes off thought that might be where the globe hold went? It is not porcelain for sure I can scratch it off.

Never seen one with a hole & not have a globe ring on it... maybe someone removed the ring & covered the hole, then u would just need a ring? Chris

You can cut a hole in your top for a globe holder. Buy your holder first then set it on top and mark where it needs to be cut. You can also offer to trade your uncut top for a cut top. I did that because I hated to cut a good uncut top. I likeShell
