Hi All, I am a new member. I'd appreciate feedback on the value of this globe as it stands, and would there be more value in separating the lenses or leaving it as is with the two different sides? It is a Dixie pump globe, with 2 different lenses. One side is a Power to Pass lens, the backside is rough to touch (e.g. raised paint on the letters on reverse side), and has a few small paint drips on front face. The other side of globe has an Ethyl lens, which is smoother (to touch) on the reverse side, unsure of age. The Ethyl lens has a small scratch by the 'L' of Ethyl (lower right), and a small chip on edge at the 3 O'clock tab position. The plastic body has mount tabs at both the 3 and 9 O'clock positions on both sides. I'm pretty sure the Power to Pass lens is an older one, the Ethyl I'm not sure - has there been any reproductions of the Dixie Ethyl lens? Thanks in advance.

Is this an original or reproduction? Any suggestions on the value of this mixed lens globe, as it is?

It's all original. $200 or so per lens. People don't pay as much for a single unless they already have one. Hope this helps. The company was out of Ann Arbor MI.
