She bought this single original 16.5" lens in an original body at auction out of California. She didn't want it shipped, so the auction house delivered it to me in Iowa in August. Come to find out - the body had a 7" base and the cabinet she displays them on will only accept a 6" based globe body. So I took the original body and swapped it for one of our reproduction bodies. As you can see, I painted it solid Orange and made a solid Orange 'frosted' lens for the back. This way, the 'glow' behind the body matches the color of the lens. Later . . . Jim

Awesome stuff out there. These two air stations will probably be the "Buys of my Life". Thanks to a used car dealership going out of business in the very middle of town and oldtoydoc for being so excited when I called him to tell him what I was looking at (that helped Michelle loosen up the wallet so I could purchase these). Pictures were snapped before I removed them from the used car lot. The owner said he took them as a trade-in many years ago. The USACO Air Station has a patented date the same as, my Son, David's Birthday. Just 61 years earlier. Mike

Sorry I didn't mention that. The other item is an employee name badge. The posters measure approximately 27inches by 12 1/2 inches. They are from 1930's to 1940's. The badge measures 1 1/8 inch by 2 inches. It is from the 1910's to 1920's. Down at the bottom it has the words-"Does What Gasoline Can't Do". This slogan was also used on the early signs.....Dale Wanted: Champion Spark plug, Shell, Pennzoil, Kendall, and Woco Pep signs...Dale Stephens
