I bought this at a local auction last evening,dirty, but a survivor from the ladies parents station across the street from her home. The station had been Phillips, Texaco and I don't know how many other brands in the early 1900's. Also picked up a map holder which I think is Texaco, but no markings, paint on back a dark green like Texaco used. Wondered what fit in the small pocket on bottom of holder. I have driven past that place since 1958, and never dreamt such items were waiting for discovery. Raymond

Nice. On the map holder, perhaps business cards? It looks about right for that? Paul www.severngaspumps.com

Thanks for comments, it measures 13 3/4 on the glass, body is 8 inches wide. A little extra drama before I owned it, the globe was laying on its side in front of auction truck and some joker placed a large box of items on top of lens, makes one nervous to say the least.
