The globe is shown on page 64 of "The ESSO Collectibles Handbook". The photo is of the globe itself, not mounted on a pump. So far this is the only photo I have found.

I have looked at a lot of old station pics, never have seen an ACTO globe pictured on a pump. Thanks for looking.

Contact Mark Smith here on this site, he might have a photo. He does have or had a ACTO globe he showed photos of last May.

I didn't realize you guys were all so interested in old pics of stations as Bob put it,"while in service as a working station".I think that's great!!Gas stations as a service facility as they were intended to be rather than an advertising photo op.
We can post "pics of pics"if you like of stations in operation with brands many of you not be familiar with including Rio Grande Oil, Malco and Horn.All more or less regional chains.
It would take us a while to put it togather but we can do it.Oh,I forget to mention ATEX and a few more.

Welcome to the site, great photos thanks for sharing! How old were you at the time the photo was taken at your father's station?

Since this thread has found new life, how about a few more photos?URL=http://img156.imageshack.us/i/whiteroseroadsidesign.jpg/]  [/URL] This is one of the attractions along the White Pole Road in Menlo, IA. In 1934 the Kalbach Oil Company commissioned the Nebraska Neon Sign Company in Lincoln to build an image of a service station attendant in a blue uniform outlined in neon lights to welcome motorists. The sign has been refurbished within the past couple of years and once again the neon lights shine and the gas station man waves to passing cars.
