Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums Showcase and Stories, Petroliana Globe Of The Month for April

Pretty cool display Dick.

Super Shell Ethyl is from the 1930-40 era, and is rare.

The very familiar Shell clam globe was used from 1925 until Shell quit using globes in '57.

I'd guess the Dick's Shell is a one of a kind. Haha. Pretty harmless way to modify a globe.

Thanks for posting!

Come on guys, theres got to be more odd shaped globes out there. Lets see them posted here!
It shouldn't be that hard to find some pictures of more ovals, Standard crowns,Standard flames, the other versions of Shell clams,Cities Service clovers, Phillips 66 shield, Vickers plastic globes, and other odd shaped globes.

If you can't post the pictures yourself, email me and I'll see if I can help.

These all have original paint. The crown rotator was used on pumps and in window display area.

Great globes guys!

The Flame is from Standard (Ind) or one of it's affiliates (American,Amoco,Pan-Am,Utoco). It was used from 1946-61.

Gold Crown was Standard's premium gasoline fron '56-'61.

Blue Crown was used from '32-'48.

The Red Crown Ethyl was used from the late 20's to the early 30's. (There is also a version of the "Red Crown Ethyl" that is painted red like a common Red Crown and has white raised letters).

The Zephyr oval is from J.D. Street. It was from the '65-'75 era.

I don't have any info on Hubba's Shell clam. I'll keep looking. If anyone has more info on this globe please email me.

Thank you Dick and Hubba for sharing these globes.

Someone sent me some pictures of three great globes I'll try to get posted in the next couple of days. I just got another oval yesterday I'll post too.
Keep those globes coming guys!

This super rare Roosevelt globe was also sent in by the Hop's. This awesome globe was used by the Roosevelt Oil Company from Mt. Pleasant,Michigan. It dates from the 1932-46 era.

Lonnie and his son Aaron are two of the best people in the hobby. Lonnie's "Globes On A Budget" series in CTO helped transform globe collecting as a hobby to an obsession for me! Thanks for sharing these amazing globes.

Here's my latest globe purchase.
Spur is affiliated with Sohio. This globe dates from the '62-'70 era.

my shell globes on the shelf are all foreign. The blue Super Shell on the right came from Switzerland. The others are from England. The second from the right is pre-war and the rest are after WWII the way I understand it. The one on the extreme left barley showing says Shell Economy. Of course
the one on the pump is good ol USA. Thanks for posting the pictues and letting my share otherwise whats the sense in wasting all this money if no one sees it.

WOW!!!! THAT RED CROWN ETCHED IS BEAUTIFUL SO MANY SUPER GLOBES THANKS GUYS.BOB THANKS FOR YOUR EFFORT AND I AGREE WITH THE COMMENTS MADE ABOUT LONNIE, HE IS AN ASSET TO OUR [HOBBY].REX

------------------

Rex sent in this D-X globe with the rare rocket attachment. This globe would have been in use from '55-'57. (I know it's a round globe, but with the attachment it qualifies as an odd shaped globe).

Thanks for submitting this rare globe Rex.

There are still a bunch of odd shaped globes not pictured. Anyone have a Mileage or Western trapazoid shaped globe? How 'bout some Vickers globes?
