Great Aromax globe Keith. This globe was used from the late 1920's until 1940. This is one of the harder Skelly globes to find. It's also the most colorful.

Thanks for the group effort in getting these rare globes posted.

The (Montana) Power Ethyl is from the 1930's.

The Big West Ethyl Gasoline is from the 1940's. I believe Big West was out of Spokane,WA.

The Litening Ethyl was from Yale Oil.

The Grizzly Ethyl is from the 1930's. The company is Northwest Refining.

Northwest and Yale were bought out by Standard of New Jersey.

Thanks for sharing these great rare globes Les!

We've had a pretty good response so far. It doesn't matter if they are common or rare, we want to see as many Ethyl globes as possible.

Nice lenses John! Thanks for posting them.
D-X used this version from'33-'46. If you run across a set of lenses like these without notches they're for a banded glass body.

Anyone else have some Ethyl globes or lenses they can share?
Bob

We've had a great response on the Ethyl globes. So far there have been 38 different Ethyl globes posted! Be sure to check out the globes Mr.Wadhams and Rex have posted in other threads here in this forum.
Thanks again guys.
Bob

Here are three "ethyls" I have. The Tydol is metal bodied as is the Pure, but it is porcelain. The Tri-State is on wide glass.

Super globes Gary!
The Tydol is from 1935-41 era. Note the blue "burst" and the orange Ethyl logo. Very unusual.

This version of Purol Ethyl was used from the early 30's until 1939. Pure was one of the few to use porcelain bodies.

Tri-State was originally from West Virginia. It was bought out by Ashland in 1930. Ashland kept the Tri-State name as a secondary brand. This globe would have been from '46-'60.

Thanks for posting!
