Yes. I was just used it as an example. I have two inserts just like it. Yours is the only one I could find on the net.

You really should use photos of your actual lenses, front and back. Condition is always a serious factor.

Using someone else's photo of someone else's item is not recommended.

Griffin Oil Company from Dothan, Alabama. Rarity 5 less than 10 known. Valued at $850 to $1,250 with the body on the last globe CD. Body is worth around $250. There is also a blue rocket version.

That is for a complete globe. Subtract the value of the body and divide by two for each lens. So $300 to $500 per lens if in very nice shape.

Okay. I finally took some pictures of my inserts. This is both the red,white, and blue and the all blue. What do y’all think they’re worth?
