Bob:

Another great looking globe! I don't recall ever seeing one of the Pennant globes. I'm not heavy into the globe end of this hobby - but I love seeing these. I only have reproductions myself. And then only for the pumps that I have restored or will be restoring.

Hopefully, others will keep posting their kewl Sinclair globes!

Dwaine,
I'm pretty confident that he has every Sinclair globe I have plus several more.
I do have a Pennant Gasoline globe, from Pierce Petroleum Corp. that is the only one known to exist however. Sinclair bought Pierce in 1930.

A couple of guys have emailed saying they hope to post some pictures this weekend. I can't wait to see them.

I'll post a couple more myself after I see what everyone else posts.

Here are a couple of globes that have not been pictured yet. The HC is glass and NOS. It was used from 1930-1954. The Power X is on plastic and was in service from 1957-1961.

Real nice globes Gary , I new you wasn't just a pump guy,

Thanks for posting your Sinclair globes Gary. They're beauties.

There were some variations on the H-C. On some the green is very dark, almost black. There is a plactic body version also. It's a little more rare. Then there are the one piece versions, and the very rare metal body version.

The Power X over 100 was also used on glass bodies.

Hopefully someone will post some of the other versions of these globes.

Thanks again for sharing.
Bob

Here is a common Sinclair H-C globe on glass.

This version of the H-C globe was used from 1954 through 1959. It was used on both glass and plastic. The plastic version is more common.
Thanks for sharing another nice globe.
Bob

On the left is the last version of the Power X globes. It was only used from '59 -'61 when it was replaced by Dino Supreme.

Pictured in the center is the first version like Jarvis posted. This one has the rare plastic attachment. I've seen the attachment on Power X over 100 globes in reference books and on ebay but this is the version that it belongs on. I have a copy of the original installation instructions showing it on this version.

On the right is the Power X over 100 like Gary posted. This one is on glass. I've included it in this group to show that the colors on the attachment match the super fuel and not the over 100.

You da man , Bob , just great , come on guys , some one put this guy in his place ,
